Solution 1

you need to programmatic change registry. first take backup of registry before changing the windows theme manual and give it name to reg1.reg , then change the windows theme manual and take registry backup after theme is changed and name it to reg2.reg then compare the 2 files with win-diff like tools. and see which changes are done in first step to second step and change the registry programmatic .

You have to manipulate RegistryKeys from code - First look which Registry changes occur when you change the theme (through the normal Windows dialogs). To find these changes use the way snehaliteng showed you, or use a tool (e.g. ProcessMonitor). If you know which Registry values are changed, just do it from code (have a look at the msdn Doku for examples, search for Microsoft.Win32.RegistryKey or Microsoft.Win32.Registry classes)

very good tip for monitoring registry changes - I just want to point out that there is a nice tool for watching system events called ProcessMonitor, it is contained in the free SysinteralsSuite http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb842062
