I agree, the old LimeWire splash screen was slicker, brighter, more professional and just plain better. The new one looks like a step backward. It's the same situation with all the new skins; they're all horrendous compared to Classic. I guess with Limewire they got the look right the first time and shouldn't tinker.

I am interested in your comment about changing the splash screen to something else. How do you do that in Linux?

Hi ,

it is very easy to do.Go to your installation directory and do a ls -al . there you should see a .limewire/ directory.cd to .limewire/themes/.Have a quick look and choose you theme default_theme/ (or whatever your are using).rm splash.gif and put the one that you made (better to do it before that).

BTW have a look at the theme.txt file as well :-) .

A quick review of the above, use find -name .lime* to locate the directory.

Hé mikeF001, I like it!!!

Merci

(PS: do somebody can make a Limewire crushing streamcast as a splash screen :p)

mikeF001 May 25th, 2004 07:32 PM

It's pitty i don't know French :-).

I wanted to make Garbage , Metallica or The Cure ones but it would destract from the Lime Wire "logo".May do them just for fun.

BTW are you a java developer ?

et voilà May 25th, 2004 07:47 PM

mikeF001: hahaha, I'm a biologist ;)
Anyway if you create other splash screens, let us know, maybe a generic one with a guitar, drum or bass (or all on one) would do the trick? Funny you did a osx splash screen, I though you were on Linux (os x envy? :D)

Ciao

Well, i am a linux user (Slackaware 9.0) but i did that splash for default_osx_theme.OSX runs on FreeBSD so i am not that envious :-) .
We need biologists the same way we need any other professions (i like bio,math as well ;-) ).


Anyway, i will do the Linux one as well as the Music ones.
