Yes, there is no problem with the theming. 
I found the solution on msdn: http://blogs.msdn.com/cheller/archive/2006/08/24/718757.aspx

#define RT_MANIFEST 24
#define APP_MANIFEST 1

APP_MANIFEST RT_MANIFEST ExeName.exe.manifest

The line above means: take the contents of ExeName.exe.manifest, and include it as a resource of type RT_MANIFEST, whose identifier is APP_MANIFEST. (The value of the manifest resource for an executable should be 1.)
