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. File names are not required to discuss your issues. If filenames are copyright then do not belong on these forums & will be edited out or post removed. Picture sample attachments in posts must not include copyright infringement.

2. Spamming and excessive advertising will not be tolerated. Commercial advertising is not allowed in any form, including using in signatures.

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. Picture sample attachments in posts must not include copyright infringement.

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. There are specific Gnutella Client sections for LimeWire, Phex, FrostWire, BearShare, Gnucleus, Morpheus, and many more. Please choose the correct section for your problem.

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. Keep in mind a forum censor may temporarily automatically hold up your post, if you do not see your post, do not post again, it will be dealt with by a moderator within a reasonable time. Authors of multiple copies of same post may be dealt with by moderators within their discrete judgment at the time which may result in warning or infraction points, depending on severity as adjudged by the moderators online.

10. Posts should have descriptive topics. 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. Reiterating, do not post your email address in posts. This is for your own protection.

12. Signatures may be used as long as they are not offensive or sexually explicit or used for commercial advertising. Commercial weblinks cannot be used under any circumstances and will result in an immediate ban.

13. Dual accounts are not allowed. Cannot explain this more simply. Attempts to set up dual accounts will most likely result in a banning of all forum accounts.

14. Video links may only be posted after you have a tally of two forum posts. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam.

15. 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.

Default Skin Program Completed.

Okay I finished virsion 1.0.
Its not as easy as going and picking the colors but it comes with a hex color finder. It will go and compile it and save it for you. As far as the images you have to edit on your own. Hope you enjoy it

Its pretty small and requires no installation

Well it was a pretty simple program. May upgrade it a bit later if I feel like it. Thanks for the compliment though

Umm one thing ide like to know by a programmer or someone that just knows it. Will the limewire font support any font on your computer or is there only cirtan ones that work? If theres only cirtan ones which ones work?

Félicitations Zimdale! I think you should put an interrogation mark next to the "primary color, secondary color, window color lines" when clicked the interrogation mark either show you the part of the GUI affected or simply a text descritpion in a tooltip.

Good work!

See erm here's the problem with that. Mabey in future virsion but I dont exactle "understand" all of what the skins do havnt had the time to experiment. I kinda wrote that entire program directly off of the General Theme. Also I will put some of your guyses skins in there if ya want as a demonstration if ya email them to me at Zimdale@gmail.com. Umm already planning to make it where you can make a whole theme like demo pictures just need to get a few friends to help with editing the picks for the presets. Doubt that I can zip it up and make it a tlwp thing though Cannot find out how to do that anywhere.

Umm if I do figure it out im pretty good with discriptions. Just released a huge tutorial program and people seemed to like it. I guess I could make a tutorial thing in there would jsut gotta learn it. Not hard just takes time

Umm just for some more background my original plan was to make it where it would have an option where you could bring a pic of limewire was and when you mouse over the textbox of the color it would show you what that is referring to would just take a lotta pics and would boost the file size up quite a bit. I may add that, its just that kinda stuff takes time

Talking

it sure don't work for me....

I tried checking out that burning-red.net thing... and i can't seem to get into that hosting forum... i think it might be because i need to be registered or something... but would that explain why I can't Download it straight from the link?
and if that were the case... why would it be dedicated to hosting crap on it to link to?

haha... N/m
just tried it again, she works:P not sure why it wasn't working before

Um.....yeah thats great and all but as of right now it takes me to cnet.com or better known as download.com and a letter from the ceo....anyhow

an idea!
first off if you are doing the code in java then you wont really have to boost the file size....lol just make it dynamic, either have a self updating image or maybe just have it render the image when it is completed, also to get the windows xp theme going with selectable colors you are going to have to define a transparency change or a blend option to put two colors in one bar either vertically or horizontally basically more or less try and crack the windows version and go off of that, you know right click, properties, appearance tab, if you can find a program that already has that setup and crack its code or find the microsoft version and crack that code then its more or less copy and past, redefine and repackage.

hope to see a "final" ver. soon, have a fun time with this project!

Uhh yeah my main hosting is down I guess agian. Ill host it on my other hosting tonight and put the link up. No im not doin it in Java Im doin it in Visual Basic. For mac im doin it in RealBasic Which personally I dont think even compares to VB. Had to take out a lot of stuff because RB didnt support it. The theme and stuff for the mac follows the Mac OS X theme. Uhh not sure if I can get the Windows XP theme goin. Would have to do a lot of extra work in vb for it to work. Really should do it in Java but rite now im very unexperienced in Java so it wouldnt be anything compared to what it is now. Only way I can think of making it dynamic updating would be put a winsock client to a server to download it which automatically overwrites the original file. Will have another virsion out of it soon. That one was kinda a quicky that I did just to update it. Speaking of that if anyone knows RealBasic good if ya could email me at Zimdale@gmail.com because im really havin some troubles with creatin that hex table in it.
