Comment on Bonafied Lovin' by nitzua19
Just to clarify, I (probably, it's been so long) only used paint for the pixel on the caption bar, window borders, etc. The stripes on the caption bar were done in Photoshop. Basically, I prefer Paint as a quick, per-pixel editor, but I use Photoshop for any of the complicated stuff.
Do you know of any good pixel tutorials out there? I wanna learn how to do pixels, they confuse me, not much to work with especially when they're 24x24, and I really wanna be able to work with it at that size, as best I can, and practice.
When I say pixel work, I'm referring to doing per-pixel editing/creation, as in pixel by pixel. A pixel is the smallest possible unit on your monitor or in a piece of digital art. When you pick the pencil tool in mspaint, you're working with an individual pixel size. There are no 24x24 pixels, but rather documents that are 24 pixels by 24 pixels.
A lot of borders and other simple graphics in visual styles are most easily achieved by constructing them pixel by pixel. The more complex graphics, like gradients and caption bar graphics could be done this way, but it would obviously be a much more tedious process.

Oh wow, that really helps alot! I think I can go ahead and give it a go, without a tutorial now. Thanks for the information my friend. 
no problem.
