You can choose to select a subset of the components in the second tab.

It shouldn't be too difficult to hack into the current theme manager that it 
installs e.g. color themes. However, if you have 3 themes around with icons 
in it I can imagine that you don't want to have all those 3 themes unzipped 
on your disk.
