It did more than "a few colors", compared to today's fancy modern theming systems it was def rudimentary, but with a single click Win 98 would change colors, the cursor, the entire sound pallette and even button images iirc. I was particularly fond of the Computer theme and the Space theme lol

I remember running a 3rd party shell in windows 2000. It worked most of the time and had some cool widgets. When it crashed explorer would take its place.

Yeah, I used some theme apps on windows. Sadly, they crashed semi often and were a bit slow the rest of the time

Oh yeah, they crashed constantly and would run slow af if you restarted them after a crash, without rebooting
