The native speakers I asked do not consider this to be grammatical in English.
Well, "zmienić się" is reflexive, so when something changes (itself) into something else. If someone changes something, that's just "zmienić".
On a different note, this verb doesn't have anything to do with changing one's clothes, which is "przebierać się" (imperfective) and "przebrać się" (perfective).
Correction: if you say "zmienić ubrania" implicitly, that's okay. But if you don't use the word for clothes, you can just say "przebrać się".
'Theme' has several meanings. Which one do you mean?
If it's a theme on a device, then it's 'motyw'.
Well I was thinking like the theme of a game or the theme of a costume party. Could even be the theme of a book.
I guess "theme" can be translated to "temat" in some contexts. Added now.
