Create a site definition feature to provide master page and CSS overrides or use feature stapling to apply the theme.
This link describes how to affect look-and-feel for new and existing sites using a feature. Themes are just whack, I'm afraid. :) http://www.sharepointblogs.com/mirjam/archive/2008/02/22/customizing-the-my-site-look-and-feel.aspx Sadly there is no SiteCreated event you can harness, that I am aware of, otherwise a simple event receiver could be written?

Now the next question/problem is how to get new sites to default to the correct theme, as some users are allowed to create sites (because they wont have the understanding or permissions to go and edit master page settings). On the page that sets the master page, the tick box to enable all child sites to inherit the master page does not stay ticked. When you navigate away from the page then re-open it, the settings have "undone" themselves - hence new sites don't inherit the settings. How can I make sure these settings stay ticked?

Is it using a different master page by any chance? Reason I ask is because I intentionally remove the theme tag from my custom master pages to prevent use of them.

In this site I have a site collection based on team site template but this one does not show the theme. If I see the settings of team site, it shows custom theme as selected but does not apply it. Other site collections based on publishing template display the theme only team site ones do not. Can anyone help how to fix this.
