I'll tell you how to do it, step by step so you'll know for the next time you want to download another.

1. Once you have your .zipped skin, click on the Themes folder in the .limwire folder and create a new folder. If the skin you downloaded is called Christmas(this is just an example), then name the folder Christmas_theme.

2. Unzip the skin and make a copy of all of the .gifs, .txt, etc. and paste them in the Christmas_theme folder.

3. Click on the unzipped file and rename it Christmas_theme.lwtp.

4. Cut the Christmas_theme.lwtp file and paste it in the Themes folder.

Now when you go into LimeWire click on View>Apply Skins>Refresh Skins then go into apply skins again and you should see your new skin.

Let me know if you need anymore help.

I tried that, but when I finished doing all of that, I selected the skin I wanted in the Apply Skins part and it said that it doesn't exist or is invalid. I'm just about to give up here.

If you're using a LW 4 version, it's .lwtp. If you're using a LW 5 version then you can't change skins - skins support wasn't added to LW 5.

Cyberstalker which program/s do you use to make your own skins?

CyberStalker · #8 (**permalink**) October 16th, 2005

There's really no program/s needed to make the skins. You will need something like Paint Shop Pro or Photoshop for the graphics if you choose to change them.

If you want to make a skin, go into this link and download a zipped file called generic_theme.lwtp. If you never made skins before this may confuse you at first until you play around with it for a bit.

I was having the same problem too. I tried your steps but when I do step #3 the file remains a text file. There must me something I am doing incorrectly. I right-clicked it and selected rename and named it Party_theme.lwtp Is that correct?
