[edit] Tips

You can notice that for each galleries Zip are allowed. Why? To include a permission text/email; or if you have severals skins to upload (when you have the same skins but in differents colors or sizes it's better to upload them together than separately); for skins without original extensions like rainlendar or rightclick, or a read-me file.

Notes also that files like icons, executables, pictures it's better to zip them even if it's only one.

For Avatars, your avatar on Wincustomize must be in 50 pixels per 50 pixels and in Jpg but you can also add a .png version of it.

Misc. Icons have to be .Ico files (no .png , png icons must go under ObjectDock gallery) designed to work under XP or/and Vista so need to contains the common icons sizes for those OS

[edit] Permissions:

When you use someone else graphics/codes or whatever you must get a permission from the original author. When you have it you must include it in your upload. So you will need to use .zip.


[edit] Descriptions:

Your description should give the best informations about your submission and Credit authors if needed. Your description shouldn't contains any advertisements or whatever not allowed in this site.
