I can´t change the skin and the icon tray of utorrent

[Miss Cogwel]

Hello. I am new here but i have used the program for a long time.

With the old versions of utorrent i could change the skin for the toolbar and the icon tray, but now with the latest version i can´t. i place the skin on the folder of utorrent.exe %AppData%\uTorrent then i restart utorrent but it doesn´t change. i need help with this... thanks..

What does the Logger tab say when you start uT? Is the settings.dat in the same folder as utorrent.exe? In that case you stick the .bmp files there

I stick the .bmp image in that folder. but the skin doesn´t change. i remember that with the last version of Ut i didn´t have this problem. but i don´t know. i can´t change the skin and the icon tray.

Folder of utorrent.exe doesn't normally correspond to %appdata%\uTorrent for most users. If you see your utorrent.exe folder, and there is no settings.dat file in there, then visit Start > Run > %appdata%\uTorrent and place the image/icon files in there.

There's TWO places uT runs the settings.dat from. One is %APPDATA%\uTorrent, and the other is the local directory.

AFAIK, local directory supercedes %APPDATA%, so you need to make sure it's the RIGHT local directory.

start -> run -> cmd THEN cd\ then dir/s utorrent.exe ... should pop up all instances of utorrent. BTW this presumes you run utorrent.exe... if you renamed it, or that process name ISN'T showing up under Task Manager then replace that spelling. You should find settings.dat in any directory with utorrent.exe, and stick the BMPs in there.

HMM, a silly question, but are you re-starting uT to see the skin changes? Because the skin is initialized on startup and only then.
