just reenter: wallpaper,the path, color style and size, nothing more is needed then it works fine and save it as your_theme_name.theme file and run it when ever yu want and from where ever yu want...havent tested it fully but it is working
going to test it over winnt.sif.....

I tried this also...
doesn't work

as a matter of fact this was the way I was doing it in the first place before asking here

Strange that ApplyTheme.exe does not work for you. I use it in my install.bat (called from winnt.sif), and that's the only thing I use. I've never had to resort to a reghack or any other method...

it worked but the problem was in my royal.theme file

I mean it works but it doesn't apply the theme correctly...
same as I explained in my beginning post... the menus nly look right if I reapply the visual style manually

i figured out what was the problem:

if you specify:

[Metrics]
IconMetrics=76 0 0 0 75 0 0 0 75 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 245 255 255 255 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 144 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 84 97 104 111 109 97 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0  
NonclientMetrics=84 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 13 0 0 0 13 0 0 0 18 0 0 0 21 0 0 0 245 255 255 255 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 188 2 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 84 97 104 111 109 97 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 17 0 0 0 17 0 0 0 245 255 255 255 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 188 2 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 84 97 104 111 109 97 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 19 0 0 0 19 0 0 0 245 255 255 255 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 144 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 84 97 104 111 109 97 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 245 255 255 255 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 144 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 84 97 104 111 109 97 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 245 255 255 255 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 144 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 84 97 104 111 109 97 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0

in your theme file the theme won't be applied correctly...
what I did is I modified the theme and then saved that .theme file for my unattended install because I like the scrollbar to be the size of 13 not 17 as default...
it looks like it doesn't work well...
