Object Desktop is a suite of different applications; not exactly plugins.

1. own background pic - DesktopX or Windowblinds
2. different icons for my computer - IconPackager, desktopX
3. own style for start menu - Windowblinds
4. own boot pic - Bootskin
5. save them all in installing file to share my friends - ThemeManager

You can email it to your friend

If your file is just a DesktopX theme, then it doesn't need to be a suite it needs to be .dxtheme

If you file contains other than desktopx, then it should be a .suite

Your friend can get and install Theme Manager to apply the .suite

Your friend will need the other software to go with components of your suite (CursorXP, IconPackager, Windowblinds, etc) other than DesktopX.

wander over to the suites gallery and look at some of the descriptions - you'll get an idea of what can be included in a .suite

then look at the DesktopX themes gallery - click download on one and you'll see it's usually a .dxtheme
