I think it is not possible the easy way. I think they have created a light and a dark ui, and of course you can choose between hundreds of code styles.
IDE themes (Preferences/Appearance&Behavior/Appearance/Theme) are just java Look&Feels. Implementing a new L&F is a tough task, it took a lot of resources to make the Darcula theme... Note that it's technically possible to install any third-party L&F into JVM and use it in WebStorm/PHPStorm ( see https://weblogs.java.net/blog/kirillcool/archive/2005/08/intellij_idea_5.html for instructions), but it will most likely look ugly and break the UI in many places.
Thanks, Elena. The more I looked into what was behind the themes and styles, the more confused I got. I think you're right, creating a theme is no easy task! No wonder there are not more to choose from.
As far as I know there are only those two themes, one light and one dark theme.
Really? No one has created any new ones? Or maybe they have, but haven't shared them?

In case someone is interested, here is a repository with a pretty nice theme inspired by Material Design: https://github.com/ChrisRM/material-theme-jetbrains
It works pretty well, but i guess anyone could easily fork it and play with it.
