Default Skin Themes not working/extracting downloads

my different skins are not working. i have just downloaded limewire and the metal skin does not work.

Is the metal skin the same thing as the black skin? cuz i downloaded the black skin, but i dont know where to extract the folder's contents to.

Thanks for your time.

I've got the same problem with the metal skin. I wonder if it's not working or if it's from an older limewire version?

If you're using XP, check out 6_pac's post for the info.

If you're using Vista, look for your themes folder in C:\Users\your username\AppData\Roaming\LimeWire\themes
You'll need to show hidden files & folders first, the themes folder is inside LW's preferences folder: LimeWire Pref Folder in Vista

The forum search is a good tool...you can use it to look through old threads & find the answers to your questions.

While in Limewire go to View (upper left corner). Apply Skins. This is where all of your skins reside. You can also download more skins from the Limewire site, there. Click Get More Skins.

The Black Theme and Metal Theme are totally two different Skins. Click on Get More Skins and you will be able to see all of the different Skins.
