Themes dont work at all

After making my basic site, i tried to use the d3c3nt theme. i went to the themes folder, and cloned the repo.
i then added theme = "d3c3nt" to the config.toml as according to the documentation, but nothing works at all.
checked on the forum but nothing seems to actually help my issue. the theme should be working but it just doesnt. still the same blank white

this thread still doesnt help me and im still completely lost.

honestly i think the documentation needs to be looked over if it is this convoluted to get things working.

It looks like this theme is missing some documentation looking at https://d3c3nt.figbert.com/.
It should mention the user needs to replace some front-matter:

  1. https://git.figbert.com/d3c3nt/file/content/_index.md.html the template = "section.html" for the home index
  2. _index.md - d3c3nt - [DORMANT] a fairly decent theme for the zola static site engine the whole setup for the Posts section
