All you need is an assembly that has the FeatureReceiver class and a feature.xml file -- that's it.

This doesn't give the complete picture of how to create the project/solution. Thanks! It would be awesone if you could share the whole sample project source code.

The correct approach is to put the code in the FeatureInstalled/FeatureUninstalling events, as these get fired on each and every web front-end. I've updated the post to reflect this.

If you have multiple WFEs, you can use a timer job to run this code on each every server. Nice use of LINQ to XML!

As you directly manipulate the spthemes.xml, this will only happen on one server and won't be replicated through the farm. When you try to change the theme from another server, you won't see the theme in the list.
