Locations and layout partly generated during the XSLT transformation but 
controlled mostly by CSS - This one is the low hanging fruit for styling, 
view source on a help page should point you to what is where - I suggest you 
save a page and run it through tidy first, the generated html is very 
verbose, and not very pretty to look at.

The graphics themselves for help:/ man:/ and info:/ are installed into 
$PREFIX/share/doc/HTML/en/common

Source locations:
XSLT containing the heading for top and bottom banner graphics in help:/
kdelibs/kdoctools/customization/kde-navig.xsl

CSS containing most of the other styling:
kdelibs/doc/common/kde-default.css

man page generator sources:
/svn/kdebase/kioslave/man (the styling is in man2html.cpp, around line 4050 
on)

info page generator sources:
kdebase/kioslave/info/kde-info2html (this one's perl - look around line 630)

Simplest is going to be to match precisely the existing graphics in size, and 
since the text is fitted to the existing graphics, you should probably stick 
fairly close to the current layout (i.e,, you don't want an icon in the 
middle of where the heading in a help page is going))
