 A clear and concise description of what the bug or new feature is.
 
 ### Checkpoints
-- [ ] Follow the [styling guide](https://github.com/lvgl/lvgl/blob/master/docs/CODING_STYLE.md)
-- [ ] Run `code-format.py` from the `scripts` folder. [astyle](http://astyle.sourceforge.net/install.html) needs to be installed.
-- [ ] Update the documentation
+- [ ] Run `code-format.py` from the scripts folder. [astyle](http://astyle.sourceforge.net/install.html) needs to be installed.
+- [ ] Update the [Documentation](https://github.com/lvgl/lvgl/tree/master/docs) if needed
+- [ ] Add [Examples](https://github.com/lvgl/lvgl/tree/master/examples) if relevant. 
+- [ ] Add [Tests](https://github.com/lvgl/lvgl/blob/master/tests/README.md) if applicable.
+- [ ] If you added new options to `lv_conf_template.h` run [lv_conf_internal_gen.py](https://github.com/lvgl/lvgl/blob/release/v8.3/scripts/lv_conf_internal_gen.py) and update [Kconfig](https://github.com/lvgl/lvgl/blob/release/v8.3/Kconfig).
+ 
+Be sure the following conventions are followed:
+- [ ] Follow the [Styling guide](https://github.com/lvgl/lvgl/blob/master/docs/CODING_STYLE.md)
+- [ ] Prefer `enum`s instead of macros. If inevitable to use `define`s export them with `LV_EXPORT_CONST_INT(defined_value)` right after the `define`.
+- [ ] In function arguments prefer `type name[]` declaration for array parameters instead of `type * name`
+- [ ] Use typed pointers instead of `void *` pointers
+- [ ] Do not `malloc` into a static or global variables. Instead declare the variable in `LV_ITERATE_ROOTS` list in [`lv_gc.h`](https://github.com/lvgl/lvgl/blob/master/src/misc/lv_gc.h) and mark the variable with `GC_ROOT(variable)` when it's used.
+- [ ] Widget constructor must follow the `lv_<widget_name>_create(lv_obj_t * parent)` pattern.
+- [ ] Widget members function must start with `lv_<modul_name>` and should receive `lv_obj_t *` as first argument which is a pointer to widget object itself.  
+- [ ] `struct`s should be used via an API and not modified directly via their elements.
+- [ ] `struct` APIs should follow the widgets' conventions. That is to receive a pointer to the `struct` as the first argument, and the prefix of the `struct` name should be used as the prefix of the function name too (e.g.  `lv_disp_set_default(lv_disp_t * disp)`)
+- [ ] Functions and `struct`s which are not part of the public API must begin with underscore in order to mark them as "private".
+- [ ] Arguments must be named in H files too.
+- [ ] To register and use callbacks one of the followings needs to be followed: 
+  - For both the registration function and the callback pass a pointer to a `struct` as the first argument. The `struct` must contain `void * user_data` field.
+  - The last argument of the registration function must be `void * user_data` and the same `user_data` needs to be passed as the last argument of the callback.
+  - Callback types not following these conventions should end with `xcb_t`.
