Are hugo themes full hugo projects in itself?

I expected just a bare bones structure

Prior to v0.118.0 the hugo new theme command created a bare bones structure. But new users struggled with that… a lot.

I just created a new site and new theme and nothing works.

So hugo new theme now creates a minimally opinionated functional theme, complete with example content.

Is a theme a “full project?” It can be. It just depends on what the theme provides.
