you need to take the files inside that folder, and add them to a .zip file, so a compressed folder. Assuming you're on windows, just drag around the files so that you select all of them, then right click one of them and where it says send to... mouse over that to see the new menu, and select Compressed Folder. That will create a .zip file. If you can see the .zip extention, right click on the zip file, and click rename, and rename it like this [skin name].lwtp . Just replace [skin name] with the name of your skin. If you can't see the .zip extention, go up to the Tools menu > Folder Options... In The popup window, click on the View tab, and scroll down in the list box to Hide extentions for known file types, and uncheck the box. This will display your .zip filename, and you can follow the instructions above to make it a .lwtp file.

Now that you have your .lwtp file, follow these instructions to install your theme so that you can preview it... http://www.limewire.com/english/content/skins.shtml#help

once you've tested it out, post it here so people can see it!!
