Ok, not so much a feature request, more a suggestion. Might be a biggish job, but it would be better to change now rather than in the future where you might actually get round to implementing *gasp* right click copy/paste menues (Seriously though, I can't believe that hasn't been done yet! And yes, I know you can use the keyboard, but come on...)

While I couldn't swear by this, I'd reckon SWT would also speed up Limewire on older machines. At the very least, people wouldn't have to put up with Swing deciding not to work all of a sudden (usually when you're exhausting your memory I find) and having to restart the application.

(Sorry, just found another thread mentioning SWT now. Grrrr) Still, think it's a good idea.

And the reason I didn't see it was because it was mentioned in the Phex forum. Bah, too tired...

(I'm going to stop replying to my own posts now, before I go mad)

you vcan put that here the programers will make that specifically for limewire. you know there are many other clients how have things that limewire doesn't so it's a good thing to suggest it for limewire
and stop taking to yourself man (just kiding it's just rare you see three posts in row by the same person

LimeWire is completely open source. If you would like an SWT GUI, you're more than welcome to make one and contribute it, and we'll give you full credit for it.

yep all good
thanks sberlin

That's all well and good, but I'm doing my final year of uni and have my own project to get on with. Not got the time to spend trying to work out how Limewire's put together.

Also, (in 4.1.5) there's the start up loading bar thingy - but it's a bit pointless (no offence to whoever coded it) 'cos it doesn't tell you how much of the program is loaded (just that it hasn't crashed).

So I'm not alone then. Redoing the GUI in SWT (like RSSOwl) would make the program a lot more responsive, and allow for using the standard visual style. (Yes, I know LimeWire already has an option for that, but it makes LimeWire slow as tar. Based on my experiences with other Java programs this must the fault of the GUI toolkit.)
