For creating skins, this is excellent: Wyrdjax, a previous FrostWire skinner has a fantastic skinning guide here Wyrdjax's Skinning Guide


2. Skin doesn't work HELP! "Out of Date" solution !!! - ie: do not zip the folder, instead, select all items simultaneously to be included in the skin and zip them together. Then rename the zip file to the name you wish the skin to be titled and with a .lwtp file extension (.fwtp for FrostWire.)

4. And 6_pac's advice here is very good for everybody: Downloading & installing Skins (includes sample images to assist how the process can be done.)


Remember for Windows systems with the new version LimeWires, the Themes folder in the preferences folder is found here:
C:\Documents and Settings\*yourusername*\Application Data\limewire\Themes

For VISTA & Windows 7 the Themes folder is found here:
C:\Documents and Settings\*yourusername*\Application Data\Roaming\Limewire\Themes

The Application Data folder is a HIDDEN folder so you need to change option to show all hidden files & folders before you search for it. You can find that under Options in search window. ______ Finding the LW Preference folder in VISTA & Windows 7

*Edit & warning: LW 5 does not accept skins. If you strongly desire skins, please downgrade to LW 4.16. Why 4.16? Answers here: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/downlo...downloads.html & why is LW 4.16 much better than 4.18

For Vista/Windows 7 C:\Users\your username\AppData\Roaming\FrostWire\themes
The App Data folder's hidden by default, so check out the thread below about how to show hidden files & folders & how to find the preferences folder in Vista (the preferences folder is named FrostWire & the themes folder should be within that).
