Limewire Skins 1 Attachment(s) I need some help with installing or rather viewing the new skins in my menu selector. I downloaded 2 skins from the limewire official site and saved in the proper folder but when I go to the VIEW/APPLY SKINS.. it does not show up in the menu. What am I missing here? Please help!:confused: |
Hi, If you are running Windows XP your skins need to go in the following folder: C://Documents and Settings/Your Username/.limewire/themes/ You need to move the skins from your Shared Folder to the folder above. |
I did exactly that and I still cant view in my menu. I think it is because the .ltwp files are missing after unzipping the folder to the proper place. I downloaded from limewire and can now use one of the new skins. I just cant use the ones I downloaded via my browser. |
I tried downloading them from by browser and had problems with it. I find it's always best to download them from LimeWire because the folder goes straight to where it's suppose to go. Just out of curiousity, which skin did you download? The only ones that I liked were the Halloween and Christmas skins. I prefer to make my own.:) |
I downloaded the party skin..the pink skin and patriotic one through my browser. The only one I could get through limewire was the patriotic one. The rest kept telling me need more sources. That's cool that you make your own. Do you share them through limewire too?? :) |

When 'need more sources' comes up click on find sources and within a few seconds it should start downloading. At least, that's what it did for me. As for sharing my skins, I tried to upload them but the files were too big because I have more .png files in my skins. In order to put them into LimeWire so others can download them the graphics can only be .gifs and .jpgs. I tried that too and it still kept coming up need more sources. And yes, that is me! hehehee |

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.;) |
