How to Install LimeWire Skins

Peer to peer (P2P) networking is commonly used for finding information on the Internet. Napster was probably the first big name in this area, but others have new software to provide more P2P networking. LimeWire is one of the later packages and it lets you customize its look by installing a new skin.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

1. Go to the Skins Gallery on the LimeWire site. Select any skins you like and download them to your computer. You can store many skins on your computer and switch between them.

2. Open LimeWire and select "View" from the top menu. Then select "Apply Skins." This will give you the option to "Get More Skins" or "Refresh Skins." This is an alternative to performing Step 1. Selecting "Get More Skins" takes you to the Skins Gallery at LimeWire.
