For anyone here who had the originally discussed issue of limewire failing to show the blue menu bar....... I had this problem!! And today fixed it!

A very helpful guy in MY personally link/thread concerning this issue, made it clear that it was a corrupted file called Display.props that you can find on your computer. (Another file called limewire.props should be also found in that directory - to make sure you are in the right place.)

If the file is blank, or missing. Then create a text file and put something like these following lines in it. Save it, and restart limewire. (limewire should not be running while you edit this file.)
