Yes, there is a way to share with a limited user base. You store the theme as your browser home page instead of your iGoogle page.
You still need to have your XML and images on a public server but, instead of submitting the theme to Google, you simply add "? skin=<theme-url>" to the end of your iGoogle URL, and make it the browser's home page. This is described in the "To test your theme" section of the Developer's Guide at: http://code.google.com/apis/themes/docs/dev_guide.html#Testing What you would be doing, in effect, is to set each company computer up with a permanent theme test URL as its home page. To illustrate with one of my own themes, located at: http://users.on.net/~dvcox/gadgets/kaputar.xml simply make: http://www.google.com/ig? skin=http://users.on.net/~dvcox/gadgets/kaputar.xml your browser home page. Hope this makes sense, and I wish you happy theming!
