O.P. RE: View all the Skins, or submit your own
It's me again...
I've got a problem...When I finished Aurora Live 1.7, I saw that it was pretty huge (15,9mb), and I though that maybe Gmail wouldn't be able to send all this...
Then...I sent it, but received a notification telling me that the message wasn't sent because of it's size!
How do I do now to send the skin to the database??
Can I upload it and send only the link+screenshot by email?

Upload the Skin elsewhere and provide a link to the Skin :P

I recommend www.skydrive.live.com :P

yes you could put your skinpack on skydrive like duck said however 15.9Mb is a big file for someone to download, i had the same problem making 365 skin i posted a help topic which is

[HELP] My Skins Too Large To Submit

menthix gave me some advise regarding image compression and about file structure which to date has helped keep 365's size down, i currently have 26 themes in my skin & at present weighs 5.11Mb, im planning to make another 7 themes for the next release and at worst that probably add about maybe 2Mb to the total filesize.

i hope this helps.
