You check existing themes and mix and match what you like, at least that's what i did before i kept mostly the defaults. What desktop environment are you using?
How it is in terms of security compared to a fully fledged desktop environment such as Gnome that is praised by security projects like GrapheneOS and SecureBlue?
This is the third definition for that term I have learned. The other two are turning other veggies, such as broccoli and cauliflower, into rice like pellets, and souping up Japanese sports cars.
I only the last couple days started theming after looking at hundreds of images for inspiration, and figured i have a slightly different approach then most of the advice.
Though i only have themed one part of my system yet myself (my fastfetch config, almost everything else is ripped from somewhere else)
first i wrote down everything i could show off in my fastfetch config, then picked out what i wanted to show. next, i aligned the parts i wanted into a fitting Layout, and drew it on paper.
next i just ported the thing to fastfetch, getting a bit more of an idea what i even wanted along the way.
i think ill do the same for my bar, which i plan to do next
I spent a long time using gnome, and attempted repeatedly to squeeze the looks I wanted out of it. Global opacity was the last straw that made it comically crashy.

I started out with a TWM so I had to.
