Custom Theme Addition Problem

Hello, I am a new OBS user and am trying to figure out how to add a custom theme. I tried to look out how to do this, and it says to go to %APPDATA%\obs-studio\themes\. However, I don't seem to have this folder at all on my computer, in fact I don't have any themes folders that I can find connected to OBS. Is this a mistake in downloading on my part? Is there some work around or other folder I can look for?

Thanks in advance!

The folder "themes" should be created manually (when you using it first time) in the mentioned below folder of OBS settings.
The OBS settings folder is accessible via the main menu File>Show Settings Folder
Code:
basic
crashes
logs
plugin_config
profiler_data
   themes  --->  user made folder for custom themes
updates
global.ini
In Windows this OBS settings folder is surely lies in %APPDATA%\obs-studio if you are not running the portable mode of the OBS application, otherwise it lies inside the config\obs-studio folder of the portable installation of OBS (created after first run of the OBS). But in both cases (portable or not) the "themes" folder itself is not created - it is optional, and should be made manually.

Here on the forum I know at least one user (myself) that recommended to use this folder of OBS for custom themes, and the themes he (me) made now is outdated (missing some icons, icons scaling disproportional in some places etc).
Most of other authors recommends to install theirs themes to data\obs-studio\themes which is part of the OBS installation.
