I think you would need something like this
UxStyle - no more patching.
or the uxtheme patcher

Theme - How to Apply Custom Themes

Those programs allow you to patch the theme files needed to customize a msstyle. So without doing that first, you can not apply any custom msstyle.

So that is basicly Step One.

Everyone who is running custom themes used these same or similar patchers. No one manually patches the theme files anymore.

If you really want to do it on your own, then you need to google "patching theme files" or something like that.

Thank you very much..... now every thing is solved....just one thing more....does this application produces any harm to system??

No, neither one mentioned will do harm. UxStyle uses a process to accomplish what it does. The theme patcher if I'm not mistaken makes a backup of the file that it replaces and allows you to restore it back. Presently, I'm using the UxStyle Core which has one process running which weighs in at about 340K in memory. Very light considering what it does.
