    The theme actually isn’t part of the Highcharts namespace internally, it is just assigned there for conveniency.

    Best practice currently would be to merge in the theme with your chart options:

    chart1 = new Highcharts.Chart(Highcharts.merge(options1, theme1));

    This helped! Thank you!
    In my case I needed to use multiple Highcharts themes on the same page.
    My initial code was like this:
    Highcharts.setOptions(theme);

    // Create the chart
    window.chart = new Highcharts.Chart({

    chart: {
    renderTo: 'divChartContainer'
    },
    .......
    });

    NOW, it looks like this:

    var obj = {
    chart: {
    renderTo: 'divChartContainer'
    },
    .........
    });
    window.chart = new Highcharts.Chart(Highcharts.merge(obj,thema));
