If you are talking about using the colors based on those set in the Settings > Style Configurator... for the default keyword color...
You can do this by right-clicking on the color in the Colour style section. It will place hatch lines over the color to indicate "use default color".
Now when you change the color theme the theme's color will be used instead of the UDL defined color.
Open notepad++ with Run as Administirator and uncheck hide again, and restart notepad++ . The problem should be solved.

You can't change the application theme, however you can change toolbar for a start. Here's the toolbar with a set of tango icons;
There's a really interesting blog post (PaintBits - Improving Notepad++ into the perfect IDE), and a section on the NpWiki++ - Can I customise the toolbar? - both detailing how to customise Notepad++'s toolbar.
Theoretically you could re-purpose the following images to create your desired Chrome like toolbar;
As for tabs, their colour and font style can only be set;
Sadly there doesn't seem to an effort to bring all UI style configuration settings (toolbars, tabs, etc) under one setting (therefore no theme website you asked about). Perhaps suggest something on the Notepad++ Idea Tracker
