Probably just me reading it wrong, my bad.
i would recommend you to install the Resource archiver 22 from steam, with that you can open the fmf files most skins are packed with today
then you can look for the panels, pages etc you wanna use in your personal skin
this way you have done majority of the work and it's never a bad thing asking for help if you get stuck, thats why we are here after all. To get help and provide help etc
it might be abit scary and confusing at start, but after a little while you'll get the hang of it and will learn to navigate around the different files.
but in this process you'll learn something and be more proud of the work you've done, even if it's the smallest things like picking a panel from another skin and make it work in your own, after that you'll focus on getting it to look good aswell
i hope it makes sense and again, this is all my opinion and i can only speak for myself.
