I sometimes receive from other people tarballs with their full fvwm
configurations, screenshots, even rpms. I then put what I get to:

  http://fvwm-themes.sourceforge.net/data/samples/

So, if you send me or to fvwm_at_themes.org a tarball with anything you want
like fvwm2rc, pixmaps, other tarballs, screenshots (but not more than 2Mb)
I or Alex will unpack this tarball to your own directory on that page.

Another option is that you convert your config to a theme in fvwm-themes
format, then your theme may be loaded/unloaded on the fly by other users.

If you send something innovative, I and Olivier (another developer) may
convert it to a theme ourselves and include to the next fvwm-themes-extra.

Regards,
Mikhael.
