10.2.8 has some errors with new 4.10.0 version
 

I'm not complaining about newer version, it's just when i upgrade to 4.10.0 and i try to use it, i notice some weird things.
The windows where i usually see the search files are GONE like if they are invisible. That doesn't happen with the previous version.
My question is... Do i need to delete the newer version and reinstall the previous one ?
I do really appreciate if anyone can give me some tips with this bugz problem... because i want to keep with the newer one.
Thx in advance for your help. :)

Hi there I've got the same problem as you! Does anybody know how I can get uninstall Limewire and installing the whole package and not just writing over the top of the last program???

if this doesn't work I say we demand our money back!!!

Thanks for that... I'll give it a try....

:D :D :D

That fix is for Classic people! So if you don't have OS 9 on your system then you won't be able to run it anyway. Those fixes all refer to OS 9 & earlier. And I think also a little over the top with the reboots. :D

The 2 things I'd suggest you try are:

1. Delete your LW prefs found here:
/Users/your_username/Library/Preferences/LimeWire

2. Reinstall your Java using the "Offline" java installer for Jaguar: See Sticky at top of this section & link for Jaguar installation for link to appropriate installer.

did everything. java is up to date.

no change. results still invisible unless you click.

I believe it's a bugz they need to fix.
 

I'm afraid to tell that i follow every step you told us and nothing. app still having the same problem. sadly what i did was delete the 4.10.0 and install the older one. It works fine, but hope programmers fix that problem soon because i can see a lot of others users had the same problem as me.

Thousand thx for the time you share with us trying to help us solve the issues we had.

And keep up the good work in here with all the ppl that you help LOTR.
With my deep appreciation.

Disappearing search window and buttons
 

You can change the skin and it'll work fine. it has on mine!

need old version of limewire
 

Can someone help me find 4.8-- or whatever runs well on os 10.2.8? PLZZZZ? :(

Changing Skins it really work...
 

I can't believe that changing skins could solve the annoying problem of invisible windows with the newer version. Man, you're a genius...

Anyone who had this problem try what robatbdi wrote in his/her post.

claragalad, if you had the problem of windows disappearing with your app, just change the skin and that's it.

Problem solve.

Thousand thx... ^_^

WHich skin(s) is it that doesn't work & which one(s) does?

Older version etc (Claragalad)
 

Try changing the skin (view>apply skins). Everything works even though a couple of the buttons (search etc) are split colours. This will see you through until Limewire release a patch.
You can download new skins if you follow view>apply skins>get new skins.

4.10.0 Skin that has conflict with 10.2.8
 

LOTR.

This is the Skin who cause that strange problem with the disappearing windows " Pinstripes Theme (OSX) "
Other Skins works pretty good.

Hope you find this info useful.

It's probably a java issue. I think the windows LW version is built around Java 1.5 but I'm not sure about the OSX version. Since Java 1.5 is only available for Tiger (10.4 users), it means people using Panther (10.3) & Jaguar (10.2) are getting left behind. Jaguar users use a Java version even a little older than Panther users. The later the Java version, the more abilities & more improvents & stability it has. LW is apparently designed using mostly Java.
