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.

Delete any themes you have now and download the new attachment or redownload it from the direct link. The file size is 52KB!! If you have that zip file it contains the right files: windowsAero_theme (folder) and windowsAero_theme.lwtp!

again, i deleted ALL the themes in the theme folder and i extracted to aero theme to this folder. as soon as i open up limewire all the sudden the limewirepro theme folder appears and so does the limewirePro_theme.lwpt. and it appears as the limewire pro skin. and in the apply skins, all i see is limewire pro, metal and windows classic. by the way the metal and windows classic skins do not work at all. they are not found anywhere but yet they are listed. so as of now the only one that is being used at the moment is the limewire pro skin even though i have the aero extracted in the themes folder. its just not listed in the limewire itself so i cant change the skin from pro to aero skin. help!

Default Windows Aero v1.0.1

I uploaded a new copy of the theme as an attachment. This should take care of any issues!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

*How to install with Windows Vista:

-Unzip the file into C:/Users/UserName/AppData/Roaming/LimeWire/themes/

If you do not see the AppData folder you have to unhide hidden folders.

Follow these quick steps: How to see hidden files in Windows Vista

-Once you have the files extracted in the the themes folder restart LimeWire and refresh the skins folder by clicking View>Apply Skins>Refresh Skins on the LimeWire Menu

-Then select the theme! If the theme does not enable the first time then reselect it!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

*How to install with Windows XP:

-Unzip the file into C:\Documents and Settings\UserName\Application Data\Limewire\themes

If you do not see the ApplicationData folder you have to unhide hidden folders. Open up Windows Explorer (click 'Start', point to 'All Programs', and then click 'Windows Explorer') On the Tools menu in Windows Explorer, click Folder Options then click the View tab. Under 'Hidden files and folders', click 'Show hidden files and folders'.

-Once you have the files extracted in the the themes folder restart LimeWire and refresh the skins folder by clicking View>Apply Skins>Refresh Skins on the LimeWire Menu

-Then select the theme! If the theme does not enable the first time then reselect it!

Thanks Spunky! I'm glad it worked for you and you like it! Sorry for all the small mistakes that caused so much trouble! I uploaded a final version that corrects all these mistakes so anyone else who downloads this won't have any issues.

I'm not sure how deep skinning goes with LimeWire. They have to fully support Vista transparency in order for us to make use of it. I'm not sure what language LimeWire is programmed in but for now all we have is a transparent title bar! Hopefully they'll change this so we can design real Vista themes in the future!

I was having the recent connection problem, and got rid of my .limewire folder which fixed the problem. However, now I have downloaded the themes I used to have and reinstalled them but they won't show up no matter what I do. Also, I don't have Windows Explorer anywhere in my Programs area. Additionally, I had all the themes working just fifteen minutes ago, so I doubt it has anything to do with having a "show hidden folders" square ticked. What is the problem? I have clicked on "Apply skins" at least forty-three times. I have started and re-started the limewire program and still nothing mon! All I get is Metal, Windows Classic, and Windows Theme.
PLEASE HELP!
