Description

Allow selecting themes from the base folder `C:\Windows\Resources\Themes` as well. Currently, the program does include default themes in its listing, but any additional themes added to that folder will not be recognized. The only workaround is to build a new custom theme using the new theme, then save it to `C:\Users\[User]\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Themes` for it to be selectable in the program.

Research direction

Start by tracing the theme-discovery code that builds the program's theme listing, comparing its handling of C:\Windows\Resources\Themes with the existing custom-theme folder. Done means additional themes in the base folder appear as selectable entries while existing default and custom theme selection continues to work.
