i just tried to delete the pro skin and it worked. but when i extracted the windowsAreo_theme, no change. i extracted the areo theme to the directory (the folder) and with it, right underneith of it is the limewirePro.lwpt itself. there is no lwpt that says windows areo theme.iwpt. it wont let me change the skin because the areo one doesnt even come up in the skins section in limewire. it only says limewire pro theme under skins and goes back to looking like the original limewire pro skin.

is there anyway limewire will be using your skin in the near furture to where all i can do is download it from limewire then just go ahead and with one click use this skin? i am missing something. i dont know. ive done all that you said too but when i try to extract the zip folder to the themes folder a folder labled windowsAreo_theme shows up in the directory but then also underneither that folder still comes up limewirePro_theme.lwpt. and yes i have tried that and it looks like the limwire pro skin that comes with limewire pro.
