Default official Limewire Communications warning msg.

I just upgraded to 4.12.8 and . . .

I hate to whine — okay, I know… if I really hated it, I wouldn't post this, right? — but what gives with the ugly orange¹ warning banner at the top of search results tabbed windows? I mean, it's not that I don't appreciate getting the warning, but why keep this banner up on what seems like a permanent basis? Or might I get lucky and discover that after awhile, this banner msg. times out and I won't have to look at it any more?

It just seems like an eyesoar to me, and it unnecessarily takes up screen realestate.

I suspect this is a stupid question, but . . . is there any way to get rid of this banner, short of regressing to 4.12.6?

Thanks.

Could you post a screenshot of the message?

Sounds fishy, especially as the current version is 4.12.6
There's a 4.13.0 Beta version but AKAIK no 4.12.8...did you get your LW from the official site www.limewire.com ?

Hmmm I had another person say something about 4.12.8 and I thought it was a typo when Mick pointed it out...

So did any one figure out how to get rid of that annoying orange box when doing a search on Limewire? (P.S. My first post on here - be gentle)

I'm using basic 4.12.10

I wonder… do the developers read this forum? If so, do you think they might be inspired to remove¹ this ugly message? If they don't read it, is there another, perhaps better way to get feedback to them — that users would prefer to not have to keep seeing this msg. banner?

1. by remove, I mean figure out a way to have it appear for a set period of time or number of viewings, and then go away.
