Is there way to apply silently *.theme file?

No I don't mean like this way: (Having Setup Use the theme file)

http://unattended.msfn.org/unattended.xp/view/web/76/

When I click theme file Display properties opens and then I have to click apply to apply the theme.

How could I skip that display section?

you could use a registry file with the following code in

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 

;Install a custom Install Theme
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Themes]
"CustomInstallTheme"="%ResourceDir%\\themes\\[NAME OF THEME].theme"

I'm not sure what you mean by clicking apply theme, Mine does it automatically

Basically, I used the bit where you can add themes in nLite, then clicked the button that said 'Insert all Local' and deleted the ones I didn't want. Then I made the one I wanted default by choosing it in the box that says Default next to the themes.

Then when I tested it all worked perfectly, on first boot a little box appeared which said 'Applying Theme' or something like that and did it all automatically wallpaper & visual style.

Hope That helped,

Well I'm not making installation CD. I just hoped that people with experience of unattended/silent applications could help better than some random board.

Something like that but app is not available anymore. :/

The thing is to get theme applied instantly not after reboot (regtweaks), so only way is to run *.theme file and press apply. That little app did that, but is there any other way because I cant get it.

Solution could be also "bubble gum" type of. Like sending (macros maybe?) ALT + A, which stands for Apply and after that Enter. Is this possible maybe by using 3rd party software?

Download and try:AutoIt v3.2.2.0

You can execute the file with the autoit. Copy the text and save it as .au3, then convert it with Aut2exe to .exe.

Run(@ComSpec & " /c " & 'rundll32.exe Shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL desk.cpl desk,@Themes /Action:OpenTheme /File:' & $var1 & 'Resources\Themes\Royale Noir.theme"', "", @SW_HIDE)

WinWait("Propiedades de Pantalla", "",3)

Send("{ENTER}")

Exit

Don´t forgive to change the word "Propiedades de pantalla" to your language and also change the name of the theme.
