But i wanted to show the files/previews to upload for each galleries on Wincustomize.
Previews:
For all skins' galleries, they have to be in .Jpg and to be a full size screenshot.
For Dream you have the option to have a motion preview in .swf (flash)
Make sure that your preview image is an actual representation of what the submission looks like.
Preview images should be at a minimum 1024x768, but higher previews are recommended.

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 separetly); 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
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.
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.
