I dunno completely what you're asking for, but you can customize linux to look however you want it too. For inspiration, take a look at http://www.lynucs.org

No, you just install KDE and download/create different styles afterwards. You can have as many styles installed at the time as you want, and just change the current style in KDE controlcenter. I dunno how to create styles, but here's a guide on windowdecorations: http://www.usermode.org/docs/kwintheme.html
