The answer depends on your window manager.  The base WM, flwm, does not really support themes in a way you could package for other people, but there are a few simple configuration options that can be set.  For example, the titlebar color can be defined with an environment variable (see the .info page in the repository for flwm.tcz).  There are also few settings in .Xdefaults that may be experimented with, but you may find some settings unusable.

Other window managers like jwm, IceWM, FluxBox, OpenBox, have their own methods.  You would need to study the WM documentation.  Perhaps some current users of the alternative WMs can post their theme-related settings or files.  But the first step is to pick a WM that you want to use and configure/customize.

Base Xfce4 package has a set of themes already by default. Of cource this can be extended any time.

Check out /usr/local/themes/Raleigh/gtk2.0

The file gtkrc is the guts of the standard tc theme.

You can experiment with other themes by replacing the gtk2.0 directory or just the gtkrc file.

Check out http://art.gnome.org/themes/gtk2 for many which you may download and experiment with.

Were gtk2 themes used in the default tc setup... or do you mean something else?

You can experiment with other themes by replacing the gtk2.0 directory or just the gtkrc file.

gtkrc is expected to be in /home/tc but not created by default. Either your are doing it or install pcmanfm which will do it automatically (same with LXDE as it is based on pcmanfm).
