Morphology

themer = theme (transparent) = theme + er

Agentive formation from 'theme' + '-er' clearly denotes a person or tool that applies themes in interfaces.

Etymology

Themer comes from theme, a word for a design or main idea, plus the ending -er that means 'one who does'. Think of baker or teacher; a themer is a person or tool that creates or applies a design to an app or website, so the word now means someone or something that changes the look.
