WB Skin Library....Why all the Zip files?

Used to be when you downloaded a WB skin from the WB library, you got just what you expected....a *wba file and nothing more and the skin would auto-install, unless you set the *wba extension not to in Windows file properties. Now folks are uploading *zip files that include additional files, for many reasons, and I'm sure mostly for completing the user's WB experience with that particular skin. It all can be avoided though and the library can get back to just having *wba files again if folks just do a couple of things....
Fonts - SKS (SkinStudio) allows for the inclusion of fonts in a skin and also installs them for the user so there is no need to add them separately in a zip.
Wallpaper - If the wallpaper is a *bmp, SKS allows for it to be included and applied within the *wba file. Otherwise I think best practice would be to make it a separate download and provide a link to it in your description or better yet, if the wall won't pass moderation, build a winstyle theme with the skin and the wall.
Other Stuff - DX widgets or whatever else have a separate library here and again just provide a link to it in your description.
Winstyle Themes - If you really want to include a whole bunch of stuff with a WB skin, build a separate Winstyle Theme. That way folks have a choice. They can either get just the WB skin or they can get the theme with all the extras (wallpaper, widgets or whatever else) and you get more downloads that way.
That's just my 2-cents and getting the WB library back to just *wba's also makes it easier for new users to customize.

that's not the issue here
