The themes IAP would just exist for loyal users to donate something small to cover some basic running costs and, in turn, get a tiny bit extra.

Personally, I have an aversion to free apps where every button click results in an IAP nag. Marvin will never be like that. No ads either.

If at any point, I decide to make money off the app itself, I'll just charge for it.
Sounds good to me. I don't care about themes, but I'll pay for them when you set them up as a way to donate for all your hard work.
