answer:As far as I know, the settings for the ‘Current’ theme are stored in C:\Documents and Settings\%USERNAME%\Application Data\Microsoft\Windows\Themes and the file is normally called Custom.theme You can edit many settings in that file, desktop, window colors, almost anything. I’m sure you could edit this from the command line, but it would be a semi involved batch script. I’m not sure if there is an easier way to do this. and this file won’t be read again till logoff and back on i imagine. And it may be overwritten on logoff. However, you can apply the theme by launching it. (if that makes sense)
