Hey @Takk8IS, are you wanting to upload this theme to our extensions store? The issues here are usually reserved for users who are looking to get a theme or language package made up, but it seems you've already made this extensions - do you want to publish it?

[Takk8IS]

Hello, my dear friend. My intention is precisely to contribute to the ZED community. Always thinking of the best possible quality, both for the designer, front-end, back-end, and Tech Leads. Besides that, I also have some other resources that I want to add as an extension. But this message I usually published... It is the theme in ZED Theme Extensions store.
Can you help me, please?
