Note about these skins:
I plan on adding more custom images to the skin based on their themes.
Expect a new upate to them in coming months.
Of course, it will be here, on this thread, so you shouldn't miss it. :P

Man these look great but I can't use it. In Limewire it comes up: The skin you have selected it out of date...

Hm... I suggest deleting the "version.txt" file and try applying the skin for starters. All the files you need to use it are there though - so it will work with some effort if any need to be used. If deleting the "version.txt" didn't work - try altering the "theme.txt" file - there's also a version number in there. I'm not sure if either one would affect it's use; so let me know when you try it - if you get to it before I do; and you probably will.

Okay I tried to delete the version.txt file and the skin still didn't work it just came back when I tried to apply it again. I checked the version.txt file in notepad and the version number matches up with my Limewire version number (4.18.8).

Maybe I downloaded the file incorrectly? All I did was when I hit save on the download, I added .lwtp to the end of the file. When it downloaded it, it showed up as a 674 kb LWTP file. Originally there is no separate folder for it but it came up when I put into the .limewire/themes. The only thing in the separate folder is version.txt. Is this correct? because the other themes I downloaded were zip files and they worked correctly once I extracted them. Also the LWTP files were of smaller size on my other skins and the separate folders were of larger file size and contained multiple files.

You need to unzip the contents original file as a zip/rar FIRST - that will extract the file's contents (images and the theme data) to the new folder. Then change it to .lwtp so LW recognizes it as a new theme. Then reload LW. If that still doesn't work I'll look into this myself.
