Applying Themes in Web Application

I use ASP.NET C# in a Web Application Project (not web site).

I would like use ASP.NET Theme feature for my Web Application.

From the root of my project I am able to create a special folder App_Themes 

Root/App_Themes   --WORKS

but I need have App_Themes folder in a different level, in my case:

Root/Cms/App_Themes    --DOES NOT WOEK

I notice that Visual Studio does not allow insert an App_Themes in a sub folder.

Any idea how to solve it?

Thanks for your time

As mentioned Here on MSDN

You can keep your Web project's files in any folder structure that is convenient for your application. To make it easier to work with your application, ASP.NET reserves certain file and folder names that you can use for specific types of content

So, Its not allowed because App_Theme folder is a Special Folder for ASP.Net and it is used by the Asp.Net to bind the Theme to the page using it.
When you specify a theme in the @page directive with Theme="MyTheme" it knows where to get the resources for the theme. Its the way things are arranged.

If you want to have in another folder then create a "cms" folder as you want and Place your resources in some other folder name anything other then "App_Theme".

Similarly u cant use other Folders like App_Code , App_data , etc.
