Calvin,

   I recall there being a couple of pages at techbase.kde.org or in the 
tutorials there. I think the kde3 docs are still up. I do recall an explanation 
of the theme elements, etc.. but I have no specifics committed to memory. Heck, 
if we could just get the CMake files for crystal window decorations done -- I'd 
be happy :)
