I disagree with the use of "theme". It evokes a visual for me. If you went to a "Harry Potter themed conference" and saw nothing that was visually Harry Potter, wouldn't you feel like the mark was missed?
However, if you said it's "centered", "focused", "related", or something similar, then there's no visual.
When you talk about a website theme, most likely you're talking about visuals. Dark, light, dusk, sunset, etc. When going to a X-themed website, I expect visuals that go along with that theme.

That's on you, because the word "theme" does not mean "visual" at all.
context. we're on the internet, talking about a website not a carneval.

Okay, still not what "theme" means, tho. Maybe "skin" is the word you're looking for?
You're still wrong IMO:
Maybe English isn't your best language or you're young and it's what young people are saying these days? Dunno.

It's not a matter of opinion, look up the definition of the word, chief.
