+<para>Use this module to customize your desktop theme and to replace theme items
+with items from other themes or from files.</para>

+<para>A &tde; desktop theme uses several components or items. Desktop theme components
+include the background, colors, widget style, icons, fonts, and the screen saver.</para>

+3) creating new themes, and 4) removing themes.</para>

+
+<para>When selecting a theme, a preview image will appear to the right of the list.</para>
+
+<warning><para>Testing and creating new themes is fun but do know that themes are comprehensive
+changes to the desktop. When applying a new theme, many related options are not restored
+when reverting to the previous theme. Generally this is not important to many users who
+accept all components of a theme, but to those who like to customize the desktop using
+individual features, installing new themes will override many desktop customizations.
+To avoid this result requires 1) saving the existing settings as a new theme, 2) manually
+configuring and testing each setting one at a time, or 3) using a backup copy of your Trinity
+profile directory ($TDEHOME, normally $HOME/.trinity).</para></warning>
