Brad

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

opinion 94 out of 100
 

i have treid the skins that are just on the fw they all work thery are just fine to me im not really graphically driven but i like that they all work only thing i find is the get more skins isn't loading the link i mean but it really does not matter to ,me as i can just go to the web site anyway anything i find i will let you know but it looks like to me it'll be a small thing and yeah im using java 5.0 update 6 and its goes good
has this pop up box about not being connected but it is and my downloads come just as fast wierd but i have learn not to worry about it ill tell you out of 100 for now ill give FW 94
Brad

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).

Iif you dont like it, change it and send it to us. Thats the point of open source.

Personally I like it.

themes from FW main page
 

you know i downloaded the themes and dropped into the themes folder in the hidden applicationdata folder ok
but you know the downloaded themes have no graphics why is that like the standard one do as i was saying they have there own folders in the themes which stores there graphics and there lwtp files in the attached folder for use in the skin selection within fw but the downloaded lwtp files such as halloween
i was wondering where do i get the graphics for these themes thewy arent downloaded onl;y the lwtp are
Brad
can anyone assist

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.

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? :)

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:

Mac OS X: /*yourusername*/Library/Preferences/FrostWire/themes

B rad

w....t.....f

can anyone else understand that? if so, would you be so kind to answer him?

dont worry ill work it out myself
 

ultra you must not be very lateral in your thinking i know its as clear as mud i even pasted the stuff from the fw website and you dont our can't see anyway not to worry ill figure it out myself
you know the old saying if you want something done
you may as well do it yourself
no prob thanks for belittling me real cool there anyway see ya
have fun
Brad

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.

I think he doesn't know about changing the lwtp extension to zip and unzipping to get to the graphic files. Ridgewal if you come back there are instructions here. And somebody get ultracross a hooker, he's wound up too tight. :D

Hi L.O.T.R and Stief
 

thankyou for responding. yes i speak my aboroginal language kattang its a dialect of my peolpe we come from the Karuah River area NSW.
but i have always spoken english i have just not been very good at it.
I understand i just need to slow down when i think and write becuase my mind works faster much faster then me hands i also have im sure some kind of A.D.H.D as you can see it in my writing style anyway thankyou for your responses

this is my query:

when i download the themes from the FW site they downloaded ok.
i put them in the correct folder and then refresh the skins. but when restarting FW and then checking if the skins are there to use (such brushed metal) they are not.

What confuses me is that in this folder the theme folder for FW there are .lwtp files this i can see.
and they have folders there to that contain there graphics
, this is pretty clear to me as i can physical see them ( ie such as brushmetal ltwp file and a folder called brushed metalwhich hold the graphics)
This is my prob when i download say halloween the .lwtp is there thats cool but there are no graphics ie graphic folder downloaded in the theme folder
Why is that guys is that clear now thankyou
Brad

Hello Ridgewal

The brushed metal theme and some of the other Mac themes don't work on Windows, but the Hallowe'en theme should work.

I just downloaded it, and had to change the extension from .lwtp.txt to .lwtp

Once the file was properly named "halloween_theme.lwtp" Frostwire was able to load it.

Would you see if renaming the file to "halloween_theme.lwtp" works?

Thanks

hi stief
 

well ive included these pictures to show you that brushed metal is osx i think thats mac but guess what it loads on a windows enviroment ive got xp and the photo is to show you that it there but i dont get any result changing the download to .lwtp instead of txt as i just aint working for me but have alook at the other pictue it has apic of my themes folder as is before i download other themes if that help you help me thankyou but if its not ok then thats cool
