Ive seen sites in the past, although not nessecarily Drupal based, that allowed you to scroll through a list of theme names, and the selected theme would be shown nearby as a thumbnail. Does anything like this exist for Drupal ? Im using the node_style module to allow users to choose a theme (actually a scheme that uses a given theme). However, it would be nice if the user could view a small "thumbnailed" sample of the theme as they were scrolling through the list. Maybe this is my chance to write my first module ?

Why not just scroll through the themes page on drupal.org? Most of the have thumbnails. Alternatively, a site such as http://themegarden.org or http://drupal5.beta-web.co.uk may do what you want.

Because the themes on drupal.org includes more themes that I may have installed or enabled on my website at the time the user is creating their content.

You'll notice that the themes admin page on your site shows thumbnails of themes ... is that the sort of thing you are after? If so then it's a matter of grabbing the relevant code that produces them (i.e. that shows the thumbnails) as each item in your scheme list is displayed. Have a look at http://api.drupal.org/api/function/system_themes/5 ... you'll notice it mentions screenshots...
