A skin is the appearance of your LimeWire. The next time you go into LimeWire, click on View>Apply Skins and select one from the list. You'll see that the appearance of your LimeWire has changed.

Cool, thanks for the reply, Ill give it ago.

wen i do unzip the file it unzips into the folder i made in the first place. so how do i do step three like wat do i rename?

If the skin is called Holiday_theme then create a folder called Holiday_theme. After you unzip the file rename it Holiday_theme.lwtp. You have to type in the .lwtp at the end of the filename. Then copy all of the gifs and .txt file and paste them in the Holiday_theme folder. Then after that cut the Holiday_theme.lwtp file and paste it in the themes folder(.limewire>themes).

maybe i'm just not getting it or something.... exactly what file am i supposed to be renaming? nothing i've tried so far has worked, i don't know what i'm doing wrong... it would be really nice to have some more choice in skins, but this is getting to be a pain!! help me please!

The file that you unzipped is the file that you need to rename. All you're really doing is putting the .lwtp at the end of the filename.

okay, thanks... at least i know i was doing something right, just apparently my computer is being blah.... see, i do rename file and tack on the .lwtp at the end and windows is leaving it as being the same type of file but with that tacked on... the extension doesn't change, so like if i have a file folder or zip or whatever (tried both when i was trying to figure out how to get it to work) no matter what it wasn't changing (ie, rename file and type whatever_theme.lwtp and it would remain as whatever file it started out as but just with the .lwtp at the end of the file's name)...... sooooo, i don't know what i'm doing wrong, or maybe it's just something with xp that i'm not getting how to make it change the file type.

I also have Windows XP and after I unzip the file I rename it with the .lwtp at the end. That's what I was told to do when I first started making skins.
