Create a new directory in `wp-content/themes` — let's call it `danktheme` in this example. Create two files in that directory: `style.css` and `functions.php` with the following contents:
```css
/*
Theme Name: Your Themename
description: Your Description
Author: Your Name
Template: twentytwentyone
Version: 1.0.0
*/
```
and
```php
<?php
add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', 'my_theme_enqueue_styles', 11);
function my_theme_enqueue_styles()
{
wp_enqueue_style('danktheme', get_stylesheet_uri());
}
```
That's it: now you can select "Your Themename" in the admin interface.
If you don't want to use `twentytwentyone` as the parent theme — because it's not the most recent one when you read this, for example — replace it in the `style.css`. Yes, in the stylesheet, I'm not making this up, rules are rules.
