If your problem is not resolved by a search of the forums, please take the next step and post in the appropriate forum. There are many members who will be glad to help.
If you are new to the world of file sharing please do not be shy! Everyone was ‘new’ when they first started.

When posting, please include details for:
Your Operating System ....... Your version of your Gnutella Client ....... Your Internet connection (56K, Cable, DSL) ....... The exact error message, if one pops up
Any other relevant information that you think may help ....... Try to make your post descriptive, specific, and clear so members can quickly and efficiently help you
LimeWire and FrostWire users need to supply these details >>> System details - help us to help you (click on blue link)

Moderators

There are senior members on the forums who serve as Moderators. These volunteers keep the board organized and moving.
Moderators are authorized to: (in order of increasing severity)
Move posts to the correct forums. Many times, members post in the wrong forum. These off-topic posts may impede the normal operation of the forum.
Edit posts. Moderators will edit posts that are offensive or break any of the House Rules.
Delete posts. Posts that cannot be edited to comply with the House Rules will be deleted.
Restrict members. This is one of the last punishments before a member is banned. Restrictions may include placing all new posts in a moderation queue or temporarily banning the offender.
Ban members. The most severe punishment. Three or more moderators or administrators must agree to the ban for this action to occur. Banning is reserved for very severe offenses and members who, after many warnings, fail to comply with the House Rules. Banning is permanent. Bans cannot be removed by the moderators and probably won't be removed by the administration.


The Rules

1. Warez, copyright violation, or any other illegal activity may NOT be linked or expressed in any form. Topics discussing techniques for violating these laws and messages containing locations of web sites or other servers hosting illegal content will be silently removed. Multiple offenses will result in consequences.

2. Spamming and excessive advertising will not be tolerated.

3. There will be no excessive use of profanity in any forum.

4. There will be no racial, ethnic, or gender based insults, or any other personal attacks.

5. Pictures may be attached to posts and signatures if they are not sexually explicit or offensive.

6. Remember to post in the correct forum. Take your time to look at other threads and see where your post will go. If your post is placed in the wrong forum it will be moved by a moderator.

7. If you see a post in the wrong forum or in violation of the House Rules, please contact a moderator via Private Message or the "Report this post to a moderator" link at the bottom of every post. Please do not respond directly to the member - a moderator will do what is required.

8. Any impersonation of a forum member in any mode of communication is strictly prohibited and will result in banning.

9. Multiple copies of the same post will not be tolerated. Post your question, comment, or complaint only once. There is no need to express yourself more than once. Duplicate posts will be deleted with little or no warning.

10. Posts should have descriptive subjects. Vague titles such as "Help!", "Why?", and the like may not get enough attention to the contents.

11. Do not divulge anyone's personal information in the forum, not even your own. This includes e-mail addresses, IP addresses, age, house address, and any other distinguishing information. Don´t use eMail addresses in your nick.

12. Signatures may be used as long as they are not offensive or sexually explicit.

13. Failure to show that you have read the forum rules may result in forum rules breach infraction points or warnings awarded against you which may later total up to an automatic temporary or permanent ban. Supplying system details is a prerequisite in most cases, particularly with connection or installation issues.

Violation of any of these rules will bring consequences, determined on a case-by-case basis.


Thank You! Thanks for taking the time to read these forum guidelines. We hope your visit is helpful and mutually beneficial to the entire community.

Cool! And do you like the new theme/logo/icons? Alkalinex (ultracross) did a good job on that too.

I'd like to hear how FW works from a Mac Intel user too, anyone here with that hardware?

Ciao

I think I prefer the old logo/splash screen. The file icons look pretty good, but the ugly firewall/strength/shares icons remain. I haven't noticed anything different with network performance (running Linux).

Speak more clearly so people can understand what you type. I can only deduce this much: Q: You want to know where to get graphics to make your own theme? A: You make them, silly.

Default A bit weird still

4.10.5 running ALOT better then the previous one. Might be a problem with my settings or my ISP but still in most cases it works great.

I'm running Window home 2005 Media Center Edition, and I have some weird problems still.

Uploads often don't start for 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 hours which seems really long to me. It isn't because I don't have desirable files. When uploads finaly start they wil go from 0 to 5 slots (which is my set limit) in a few minutes and and then start queing people

most times I am only on the network 6 hours a day, because it's the only time I get free internet, that means that people that upload large files from me will have to wait much longer to get them

Also some (only some) downloads will show downloading from first 1 then 2 maybe even 3 hosts, but downloadspeed is zero the whole time, and I mean for hours

edit: (5 february) Uploads started ok tonight (all slots busy after 1/2 an hour. I also should add that I use UPnP, because I am currently locked out fro my router options, and I don't dare reset, because I need the Internet every day for school, or I will be really F***ed

To Hornet (below). I only have 3% CPU usage with 2 Downloads and 5 Uploads
1.7 GHrz 512 Ram Updated Java

P.S. Anything from Norton is crap. I speak from experience

I just retained the black theme from former LW installation, since its my fave, and its easiest on the eyes. Only thing I modified was the splash, which I posted around Christmas.

I'm still having between 40 and 75% CPU usage, but not complaining... just wondered if its normal? Is that what would be expected? Guess I never really paid attention before. Been having problems with my ISP lately on bad CRC errors, so have Norton ************ running when online, so this is how I noticed it. Either way, no biggie.

Lastly, are there any resources to learn how to use the BeanShell?

[added later:]
BeanShell particulars: http://www.beanshell.org/ The jar file is already included in the FW install, but there is a PDF at the site. If you mess up FW, don't complain here, ok?

hi i think its very clear im talking of what you moderator should know i feel i just dont use grammer just words
clearly now
why does the skins not have any graphics in there download from the fw site ok
they are lwtp file ok but they have no grapihics theefore o h damn here ill make it crystal clear

How to upload themes
It is currently not possible to upload themes directly. However, if you send the theme via eMail to frostwire@gmail.com, we will put it online manually.

Available themes
Blue (download blue_theme.lwtp (http://www.kullen.rwth-aachen.de/~gr...lue_theme.lwtp))
Winter (download winter_theme.lwtp (http://www.kullen.rwth-aachen.de/~gr...ter_theme.lwtp))
Halloween (download halloween_theme.lwtp (http://www.kullen.rwth-aachen.de/~gr...een_theme.lwtp))
Valentine (download valentine_theme.lwtp (http://www.kullen.rwth-aachen.de/~gr...ine_theme.lwtp))
Abstract (download abstract_theme.lwtp (http://www.kullen.rwth-aachen.de/~gr...act_theme.lwtp))
Frozen (download frozen_theme.lwtp (http://www.kullen.rwth-aachen.de/~gr...zen_theme.lwtp))
Duck's (download duck's_theme.lwtp (http://cmt.homeip.net/duck's_theme.lwtp))
Easter (download Easter_theme.lwtp (http://cmt.homeip.net/Easter_theme.lwtp))
St-Patrick's (download St-Patricks_theme.lwtp (http://cmt.homeip.net/St-Patricks_theme.lwtp))


How to install downloaded themes
You have to manually drop the .lwtp file in the themes directory and then refresh FrostWire themes library via the menu or simply restart FrostWire

Emplacement of themes directory for:

Windows: C:\Documents and Settings\*yourusername*\Application Data\FrostWire\themes Note: Application Data folder is hidden by default, you have to play with the menu Tools -> Folder options in Windows Explorer
Mac OS X: /*yourusername*/Library/Preferences/FrostWire/themes




Pretty clear now i think see the d\l themes they are put in ther correct folder but they have no graphics aanyone help

Of course ultracross must be literal in his thinking as a programmer, because programming must be literal.

Re your skins problem: I've read over your posts several times and am not sure what you are asking.

I think you want to know where some graphics are stored, so you can change them, and you expect all the graphics to be stored in the lwtp skins files.

Which graphics do you want to change?

Hi Ridgewal, out of curiousity do you speak any other languages. I notice in your profile you spelled your home city incorrectly. Probably just a typing mistake. (I'm based a state across from NSW.)

BTW it's possible to create your own skins if you have the correct tools.
