You can add new items to the Gallery's theme categories. In addition, you can create entirely new themes. For example, if you design graphics for a sports-related organization, you'll surely create a theme called
Sports and use it to hold all your designs.
The themes exist only so that you can group similar graphics together. Once separated into themes, all your related images appear together for you to find quicker than if they were spread across multiple themes or if all your images were included in only one theme.
Resist the temptation to store new images in the theme labeled
My Theme , unless they truly are unique. Instead, create new themes to store related groups of drawings you design.
