No, I don't have trouble installing packs. I'm trying to make one. So far I've had moderate success just editing the files of someone else's pack to be the way I want, but I've gotten the idea from the wiki that there's a bit more you can change, such as the font or titlescreen items. Unfortunately, it doesn't go into any more detail about the files involved with changing such things.
Does there exist a guide that simply explains all of the files that you can change in a texture pack along with the original files used for Minecraft? I've been searching for something that might explain this, but the wiki is useless, and I haven't had much luck anywhere else. Maybe this would be a good community project sort of thing? I'm sure everyone would benefit from a centralized resource that explained all of this.
On a tengentially related note, because it is a question, and I don't think it itself warrants an entirely new topic, what does one have to go about doing to make biome-specific textures for grass and trees? I've edited the appropriate files, but the grass just reverts to a defaultish green, even though the grass texture in terrain.png is still the grey it originally was.
I' not sure if there are any tutorials to making a sucessful texture pack in minecraft, but I can offer a helpful piece of advice(hopefully).
Pick a theme, then work with that theme. Like, for example, if you're going for a sci-fi theme, you're going to want all your blocks to look futuristic. Or with the Tron pack, lots of dark colors(dark blue, dark red, dark green) with bright neon colors to give it that Tron-ish look. Just make sure that your theme is consistant throughout your entire pack.

Believe me, OP, I looked too, but couldn't find anything either. All I can say, is, most of the .png files you can change.
There are clouds, sun, moon, foliage gradients, mobs(game characters), terrain, and items.
Best way to find out how each of them changes when you mess with them is to, well, mess with them.
Open them up in photoshop, or paint.net, and just mess with them, save them in a new folder, (backup the old one), and test them out. It's tedious, I know, but it's the only way until a nice tutorial emerges.

So yea, that should be a complete list of every texture file in the game.
