Okay, basically I am very bad at programming. I would like to be able to make some window decorations and some widget styles, for KDE. Does anyone know where I can find some good tutorials; or at least, some documented source code? I have searched google and others. Every place I found only had info for KDE2. I couldn't even find anything for widgets. -As source goes, most are not documented, the rest are pixmap themes. -I have tried pixmaps, but they are too slow and rough looking.

-I did think of DecGen and DeKorator, but I want to actually learn something; and get a finished product that's mine and not only possible because of someone else's programming skills. I have been looking for such info on and off for a while with no answers to be found. I didn't want to come here only to have someone put up a google URL with 9000 hits. -However, I am completely at a lost here. I would appreciate any help.

Thanks.

P.S.
Could someone at least tell me the answers to these questions:

1. What is better to use C or C++?
2. If C could I use a GBA program called BMP2C?
3. Where could I find the Kdevelop templates?
4. Overall, what are some good tools for graphic programming?
