UOT is the easiest and best way to changing up your basic features on your phone. When you want to actually change the icon's picture and styles is when you gotta build it from the ground up.
I usually take a theme that's been built that I already like and tweak it myself to my liking.

They can be a headache especially when you are compiling and de compiling apk's. Gotta remember that you DON'T move your images to the apk until AFTER you compile it. You'll get errors every time.

It's not hard. It is best to edit a theme that's already made. Change colors of icons or change the icons. That way you get an idea of how it all works. Once you get inside the apk, you'll see how a theme works.
All you need to edit is 7zip and paint.net.
Extract the theme files from a theme you wanna play with. (framework-res, systemui and res-cappuccino)
Right click on the apk click 7zip and expand. It will open the insides of the apk. You'll only be messing with the drawables hdpi folder so only extract it. Once you extract it you will see all the icons and images. Edit whichever you want. Save. Once your done right click on the apk again click 7zip expand and go inside the res folder and drag the extracted folder you've been editing inside of over to the 7zip window. It will replace the old folder in the apk.
Push it to your phone and your done. Once you do it you will see that playing around with simple stuff like this ain't hard.
If you even care or wanna learn that is

Yeah basically. Push means paste. Pull means cut or extract. Dont have to have commander, although its easier, but you can just put the files on your SD and move them with file manger or something like that.
