I think it is like this:
Window decorations: the way the borders of windows look, for example where 
the Iconify/maximize/close buttons are located.

Styles change they way GUI elements like buttons, scrollbars, menus, 
toolbars, etc. look like.

Themes are very similar to styles, but they are less powerful.
For exampe you'll need a style to do transparency.

Themes are a collection of graphical elements (images, colors, etc) that make 
up the new look, while styles are executable code, i.e. a plugin program.

Cheers,
Kevin
