well, sort of.

a full GTK+ theme actually consists of:

  a) methods to draw a set of low level primitives:
   
          line
          box
          polygon
          arrow
          circle

  b) methods to draw some slightly higher level primitives
  
          sliders         
          text on a background

  c) colors and background images for specific widgets

Its (c) that corresponds to a "style", but full GTK+ themes define
more than this. You need a shared object containing the drawing
methods to use a theme, however.
