Tiny-but-featureful
WIndows BitTorrent client uTorrent got a
great new web site a few days
ago, and along with it came a great new
skins gallery. I had no idea
uTorrent was even skinnable, but apparently it has been—to a degree, at least—for some time now. uTorrent's
skin support is fairly minimal, only allowing toolbar buttons, status icons, and tray icons to be altered, but what more
can you expect from a 130kb app? The skins come in the form of .BMP files and need only be placed in your
%APPDATA%\uTorrent folder, and if you're artistically inclined
making skins is a snap.

If you run utorrent like I do off of a USB key- it is very simple to make the toolbar skins work. All that needs to be done is save all of the data files that are in your %APPDATA%uTorrent to your usb key utorrent folder. Then save the toolbar.bmp and tstaus.bmp files that you would like into the same utorrent folder on your key. Lastly, you need to create a shortcut to the utorrent.exe and open up the properties for the shortcut. Where it says "Start in:" make it the same folder as your utorrent.exe and you should be able to launch utorrent with the shortcut to use the toolbar skins. Enjoy.
