customizing welcome screens

hi all.. 
recently, after some heavy usage of KMail and Konqueror, i
realised, that the 
welcome screens seem to be in HTML-Format..
this made me think, that they are customizable.. 
can i do this?
and if yes.. where are the HTML/CSS files located and how to
edit them... 
just to make clear i DO know HTML and i DO know CSS, but
maybe there are some 
kind of makros used. well that would maybe make it necessary
for me to edit 
them too. 

any help would help

At least on Debian, these seem to be under
/usr/share/apps/konqueror/about 
and /usr/share/apps/kmail/about. I assume the %n are where
strings are 
substituted in according to the current language.

More generally speaking we call this the "app
data" paths.

You can get a list of paths searched for data resources by
the following 
command:
% kde-config --path data

Cheers,

thanks a lot.. i found it, and now i can do what i want.. 
by following you're advices i found out, that vim treats
read-only HTML-Files 
as if it where some text browser... so when i wanted to
view/edit this file 
as non-root user, i just saw :
%1
%2
%3
%4

but no source ... 
anyway.. thank you.. so i asked one question and got two
answers ;)
