dissecting a CMS
designer - front end skills : you can edit master style sheets to move and re color elements , use HTML to re implement elements , or create a template from scratch
developer-backend skills- will be albe to do the same as above but will also be able to re configure functions and objects written in the middleware of choice to be a bit more custom. most modules that come with a CMS will be all right if left alone but can do much more if you tinker with it to suit your needs
CMS' I have ran into are usually broken apart into multiple files (includes) and its a matter of connecting the dots to know what file will do what
also studying the database structure will help greatly knowing what information is stored in what field or tables will give your customizing skills a lot more flexibility
so hack away
