Hi,
You can apply themes to a page, a Web site, or globally. Setting a theme at the Web site level applies styles and skins to all the pages and controls in the site unless you override a theme for an individual page. Setting a theme at the page level applies styles and skins to that page and all its controls.
Refer:
MSDN : ASP.NET Themes and Skins[^]
MSDN : How to: Apply ASP.NET Themes[^]

Here[^] you can have a look on small article.

Here[^] is an article which will demonstrate you "How the set themes from database".
All the best.

Read my second link carefully.
In the application's Web.config file, set the <pages> element to the name of the theme, either a global theme or a page theme,
<configuration>
<system.web>
<pages theme="ThemeName" />
