Pleased to hear you got it installed ;-)

Well a lot of the colours and similar are set in the css files.
I would make a new design (copy the base folder in the design directory and call is something else).

Most of the customisation to do html-wise is in pagelayout.tpl

You can also do some simple changes to your site like this:

http://ez.no/community/forum/setup_design/how_to_customize_change_look_and_feel_of_ez_publish_3_7
http://ez.no/products/ez_publish/demo/flash_demos/menu_toolbar_management

This is a good start too see the possibilities!

But I would recommend you to start changing the css-files and the pagelayout (and other templates).
That's when the fun begin...

Take a look at these examples:

Good luck.. =)

Dizyn, did you install the Flash plugin for your browser? You can get it for free from http://www.adobe.com
