The easiest way to create a new theme is copying the code from jinya-testing-theme. It contains all needed files.
You can also create the structure by hand. To support all features of Jinya you need to create the following file structure:
your-theme-name
├── 404.phtml
├── blog-category.phtml
├── blog-home-page.phtml
├── blog-post.phtml
├── form.phtml
├── gallery.phtml
├── home.phtml
├── layout.phtml
├── profile.phtml
├── segment-page.phtml
├── simple-page.phtml
├── LICENSE
├── Preview.jpg
├── theme.php
└── styles
├── frontend.scss
└── _variables.scssThe different files are used for different types of content.
The file 404.phtml is used to display error messages.
The file blog-category.phtml is used to display blog categories.
The file blog-home-page.phtml is used to display the blog homepage.
The file blog-post.phtml is used to display blog posts.
The file form.phtml is used to display forms.
The file gallery.phtml is used to display galleries.

The file Preview.jpg is used to show a preview image in the designer.
The file theme.php is used to [configure the theme](configure.md).
The folder styles contains all your styling files. It is required to have a file _variables.scss. You also need at
least one SCSS file to contain your style rules. It is recommended to name this file frontend.scss.
