Submitting a Theme

Rules of Submitted Themes

The following rules are rules that all submitted themes must fulfill. These rules mostly do not apply to the content of the theme, but rather are about the metadata of the theme. We may request changes for you to make in order for it to fit out layed out rules.

All themes must be under a free license. If you are unsure, take a look at Various Licenses and Comments about Them on GNU.org. Some common free licenses are the Expact/MIT license, the GNU General Public License v3.0, and the Unlicense. It is recommended that you understand what the license allows you theme to be used for before licensing it under that license.
Your theme must not be minified upon submitting. We will not accept thems that are minified; when submitting any theme to RATI, it must come non-minified.
Your theme must use as few external resources as is possible. Ideally, your theme should look at least passible if all external resources go down.
