How do you create a custom theme in Drupal?

Answer: To create a custom theme in Drupal, follow these steps:

1. Create a Theme Folder: In your Drupal installation, navigate to `themes/custom` and create a new folder for your theme (e.g., `my_custom_theme`).

2. Add .info.yml File: Inside your theme folder, create a `.info.yml` file (e.g., `my_custom_theme.info.yml`) to define your theme’s metadata, including its name, type, and base themes.

3. Add Libraries: Create a `my_custom_theme.libraries.yml` file to include CSS and JavaScript files.

4. Create Templates: Add template files (e.g., `.html.twig` files) to control the layout and structure of your theme.

5. Add CSS/JS Files: Include your custom styles and scripts in the libraries you defined.

6. Enable the Theme: Go to the Drupal admin interface, navigate to Appearance, and enable your new theme.

7. Clear Cache: Clear the cache to see your changes in effect.

You can further customize your theme by overriding template files, adjusting CSS, and implementing theme preprocess functions in a `.theme` file.
