I tried some more and it really is a kind of hit and miss. I 'installed' some more themes and 
some showed up and others didn't. I then 'uninstalled' the ones I didn't like and some 
disappeared and some stayed. Not very predictive..... ( I actually can't think of the right word 
- hard day at work....)
