First of all you hav to patch uxtheme.dll file to use non-ms themes.

Copy uxtheme.dll file from existing patched version of your Windows from C:\Windows\System32

make cab file using this command

makecab C:\uxtheme.dll

The file uxtheme.dll at root of C: drive.

Set your Visual style on pre-installed Windows and save the .theme file using Desktop display properties.

Now make Unattended Windows using WINNT.SIF (You are going to install Windwos using CD) and set

OEMPreinstall=Yes

You can find more information about unatteded installtion of Windows XP here | http://unattended.msfn.org/

Copy your Visual style that had been applied n you can find that at C:\Windows\Resources\Themes

Create heirachy of directories like:

XPCD ----> $OEM$, I386 etc

$OEM$----> $$ --> Resources ----> Themes

Copy the Visual style and .theme file in Themes folder.

add entry to set Visual style into WINNT.SIF

[Shell]
CustomDefaultThemeFile = "%WinDir%\Resources\Themes\MyTheme.theme"

make bootable CD and enjoy !
