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!

nps i think i found an error on your zip i think. the limewirePro_theme.lwtp is named differently then your windowsAero_theme.iwpt...shouldnt thwindowsAero_theme.lwpt be named as windowsAero_theme.lwtp????

i took a chance and it worked. all i did was rename the windowsAero_theme.lwpt to windowsAero_theme.lwtp. like the other themes were labled at the end. all you needed to do was switch the t and p around. thats why it wasnt working. thank you for all your help. thank you once again!!! hey is there anyways you might be coming out with a skin for windows transparancy? (windows vista premium)? thanks a bunch!!!! this skin of yours looks great!
