Question how to make custom roms or themes

So, there are so many people making really good roms now. even i want to try now

So how do you start cooking roms? or start making themes?

What software is needed? Do you need eclipse? Do you just need a file manager and an unzip utility?

Has anyone created a tutorial on cooking a rom?

I have some skill with android, and am pretty good and flashing and stuff, I wouldnt mind adding root a build that I like or taking something else out. Maybe add an app to the image, or add an option to my recovery image.

Where do I start?
plz help

i don't think there will be any "simple how-to's"... cause upon reading, i think this is not something simple...

though, maybe someone can create one... i hope...
