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.

Are you creating your own skin or did you download one from LimeWire? If you downloaded one from LimeWire(using LimeWire to download it) then you shouldn't have to do anything. When I downloaded a skin from LimeWire it already had the folder for all of the .gifs and .txt file and it was placed in the correct spot.

I've created my own skin, and I've followed your steps to a "t", but Limewire still won't recognise my skins existence. I've tried refreshing it, restarting Limewire, restarting my computer, swearing at the damn thing, but all to no avail!

If you followed the steps that I made in a previous post then I don't understand why it wouldn't work. The LimeWire site really should give more clearer instructions for the skins.

Instead of downloading the Generic_theme from the LimeWire site go into .limewire>theme. If there is a theme called other_theme then use that to create your skin with. I found that the skins I made were easily read by LimeWire when doing it this way. After you're done, just rename the other_theme into whatever you want.

Default A possible fix for problems with file extention changes.

I've finally found a way that works for me, and hasn't given me any problems or headaches with trying to change something to have the .lwtp file extention.... if you're still having problems after following CyberStalker's instructions, no matter what you do - as I was, I had actually completely given up on trying to create a theme for a while... then I got a thought (which is rare for me! lol) and tried something different... I went into the themes folder for limewire and copied one of the .lwtp files to where I had been working on my theme (-copied- NOT moved, incase anyone tries duplicating what I did), renamed it to have the same name as the theme I was working on (leaving the file extention as .lwtp) and then moved the renamed file and the folder for my theme to the limewire themes folder.... lo and behold, it worked!! And without the headache of extention-changes!!

Good luck to anyone working on making themes, and no matter how you do it I hope everything works out for you!!

That's how I made some of my skins. I just made a copy of the .lwtp file and the folder containing the .gifs and renamed it. Then I made alterations on most of the .gif files and volia! I had my new skin!

Did you make sure that the skin folder and .lwtp file is in the right spot?
