Themes

How can one get more color schemes using the XP styles? Three is not very
many...
How can I add themes as an administrator so all users will have it listed to
choose?
Is it possible when adding themes to pick areas you want on/off, say fonts,
background, etc. Win98 had that feature, but not sure if it was in
Plus98...
How and where to I add more styles? Will this involve 3rd party ware?

It will involve third party software - all XP Visual Styles need to be
digitally signed by Microsoft, and they aren't offering digital signing as a
service. I have used both StyleXP and WindowBlinds (I'm using WindowBlinds
at the moment) - it's up to you which you prefer.

The theme management tools aren't as robust in XP as they were in the old
Plus pack - I am not aware of a way to take only parts of the theme but not
others.

At this site you will find a free patch to allow Themes other than the
default 3. There are many nice ones to choose from at the site or you can
also vist themesxp.org to more choices.
