Well, I'm not too sure about themes, but IMHO the style page should have the 
preview at the top and four tabbed pages below, Style, Effects and Misc as at 
present, and also the Colours tab. This way the preview would be shared and 
would better reflect the overall outcome. Just my two cents, I'll move on to 
something to try and demonstrate the virtues of my suggestion after I've 
finished with the Icons page. :)

Personally, I think it is difficult to work with the theme manager because it 
encompasses so much. Ideally, shouldn't the theme manager encompass 
everything in the look and feel branch, but nothing else? Obviously this is 
now difficult because of the (perfectly logical) window management branch...

I'll stick to Icons for now as I can't see a good way to integrate it with 
anything else at the moment.

Cheers.
