Cyberstalker which program/s do you use to make your own skins?

There's really no program/s needed to make the skins. You will need something like Paint Shop Pro or Photoshop for the graphics if you choose to change them.

If you want to make a skin, go into this link and download a zipped file called generic_theme.lwtp. If you never made skins before this may confuse you at first until you play around with it for a bit.:)

1. Once you have your .zipped skin, click on the Themes folder in the .limwire folder and create a new folder. If the skin you downloaded is called Christmas(this is just an example), then name the folder Christmas_theme.

2. Unzip the skin and make a copy of all of the .gifs, .txt, etc. and paste them in the Christmas_theme folder.

3. Click on the unzipped file and rename it Christmas_theme.lwtp.

4. Cut the Christmas_theme.lwtp file and paste it in the Themes folder.

Now when you go into LimeWire click on View>Apply Skins>Refresh Skins then go into apply skins again and you should see your new skin.

Let me know if you need anymore help.;)

thanx...I got about 7 skins now...so I'mma leave it alone for now. Again, thank you for all your help.

I was having the same problem too. I tried your steps but when I do step #3 the file remains a text file. There must me something I am doing incorrectly. I right-clicked it and selected rename and named it Party_theme.lwtp Is that correct?

NEVERMIND I GOT IT!!

I think I came across that before. I believe it happened with the Metal skin. I had accidentally deleted the file. Go into .limewire folder and see if the folder and .lwtp file are still there.:)
