Did you try selecting the pro theme from the menu to see if that's it? After all, the file is called limewirePro_theme.lwtp
Though I'd have thought the file could be renamed to Aero.

is there anyway limewire will be using your skin in the near furture to where all i can do is download it from limewire then just go ahead and with one click use this skin? i am missing something. i dont know. ive done all that you said too but when i try to extract the zip folder to the themes folder a folder labled windowsAreo_theme shows up in the directory but then also underneither that folder still comes up limewirePro_theme.lwpt. and yes i have tried that and it looks like the limwire pro skin that comes with limewire pro.

Refresh. And Try changing the skin to another, not the pro skin then back again.

After you closed LW, make sure it had sufficient time to close. Sometimes LW continues to linger even when it's out of view. Control-Alt-Del & make sure LW is not listed in active programs.

still no change. ill restart my computer. maybe that might do something.

Spunky, you were right! I updated the attachment and direct link so you'll have to redownload it! Sorry for your headaches this morning, I'm glad someone pointed that out!!

can you please resend the link to me if it isnt to much trouble? or repost it in the thread? thank you very much.

still no change. the lwpt is still saying limewirePro_theme.lwpt the the skin is still appearing as limewire pro theme and when i click on it it is the same as the limewire pro theme that comes with limewire pro. no change. im sorry.....

Delete any themes you have now and download the new attachment or redownload it from the direct link. The file size is 52KB!! If you have that zip file it contains the right files: windowsAero_theme (folder) and windowsAero_theme.lwtp!

again, i deleted ALL the themes in the theme folder and i extracted to aero theme to this folder. as soon as i open up limewire all the sudden the limewirepro theme folder appears and so does the limewirePro_theme.lwpt. and it appears as the limewire pro skin. and in the apply skins, all i see is limewire pro, metal and windows classic. by the way the metal and windows classic skins do not work at all. they are not found anywhere but yet they are listed. so as of now the only one that is being used at the moment is the limewire pro skin even though i have the aero extracted in the themes folder. its just not listed in the limewire itself so i cant change the skin from pro to aero skin. help!

nps i think i found an error on your zip i think. the limewirePro_theme.lwtp is named differently then your windowsAero_theme.iwpt...shouldnt thwindowsAero_theme.lwpt be named as windowsAero_theme.lwtp????
