How are the theme in the es_systems.config tag <theme> created?

I would like to add a new entry for ES to add my CPS1 games; I created in the es_systems.config file the entry, although I noticed that there is a tag called "theme".

Where are those located? How do you create them? I see that ES has different images for different themes when you load them, based on the system; so is that tag pointing at something in the actual ES theme?

I am curious if it is possible to make my own tag because otherwise all my custom systems will always have the same arcade icon on the menu.

The theme tag instructs the theme in use how to display that system. If the theme has support for that system (i.e. the 'theme' tag), it will display the corresponding to that artwork. So if the theme for a system says arcade, the theme will pick-up the artwork from the arcade theme folder.

@mitu I see, so that is pointing at a ES theme section. Thanks for the clarification!
