Well you definitely will want to read the WIKI

http://wiki.xoops.org/wakka.php?wakka=HomePage

Section 6. XOOPS theme developer's guide should get you started. Good luck and hope to see your theme in the near future?

Have a look here,it would be a good place to start. Another way of doing themes is to modify an existing theme, bit by bit, until it looks the way you want. The phpkaox theme that comes with XOOPS is a good starting point :)Modifying the css files in a theme will change the look of a theme.

Might peek at this as well

It's not the mother of all theme making guides, but it should give you a idea.

Great, I can't wait!! Sounds very interesting. I've done a few themes myself. One is a camouflage theme that a couple of people have been asking for, but it's not finished yet... i'll have to get back to it one day.....
