erm .. this is in the LimeWire section.

AppData only applies to Vista users & they FIRST need to check options to show hidden files & folders http://www.gnutellaforums.com/genera...der-vista.html , for XP or earlier see http://www.gnutellaforums.com/limewi...e-answers.html

If you cannot find the skin then search .lwtp or the skin title in your search bar with show hidden files & folders option checked. If it is not in the location in the LW preferences folder, then move across. If it's not with the .lwtp extension then change it yourself.

You 'sure' you found the actual LW preferences folder?

LW 5 doesn't have support for changing skins yet.

I think the developers might be going to include that in later versions
