Could just use a different page template for home, then include the header and footer you wanted to use.
If that doesn’t work here’s some plugins that switch themes that you might find interesting as to the code you would need:

Hi Michael,
I already installed the theme switcher plugin, and then what’s next? there is no instruction on the downloaded page..
thanks!
No I wasn’t say install the plugin, I was saying look at the code to see how themes are switched.
But consider using a page template approach first.
Hi again,
I used GYS Themed Categories, this plugin works perfectly for me, but I want to change themes not by category but by pages.
Thanks!
It’s what MichaelH posted earlier – using Page Templates. Do read it.
You can make a different Page Template for each or all of your pages. You create the Page Template, upload new Page Template to your theme folder in server and choose from the dropdown menu available in the Write > Page panel under Advanced Options.
I rather suspect the OP is asking if there is a way to *automatically* have themes changed for each page – not just have the ability to change to another theme by users.
At least I think that’s what is being asked. I could be wrong – I have been, once or twice:)
Saurus is right, I want the theme change automatically everytime the user click on the other page, and not like a dropdown to change the theme.
I want a different theme on each pages.
Thanks!
This is the site that i’m doing. http://aits4wol.net/wordpress
I want to change the theme when the user clicked on the HOME menu, and another theme when they clicked on the other menus..
Thanks!
Don’t thank me – as far as I know, what you want to do is not possible. However I know absolutely nothing about the mysteries of PHP, so if there is a way I’m sure I will be disabused of that notion.
roniewp – there are ways to make each page “appear” as if it had a different theme by using conditional tags to call stylesheet/s for specific pages in the header, in addition to creating Page Templates with special IDs and classes so the body layout, colors, backgrounds, etc. can be tweaked as you want it. It can be done, you just need to know how to create a theme and be adventurous with it – HTML, CSS and PHP.

I already tried to explain that to the OP where he asked the very same question in another thread but assumed he wasn’t interested.
@lenk: Thanks for the heads up. See you around 🙂
