GENERAL_5=You can change the look and feel of Frostwire by going to View -> Apply Skins and choosing a new skin. Brand new skins are on Frostwire's website, available by choosing 'Get More Skins'.

GENERAL_13=Want to open this Tip Of The Day dialog after you've closed it? Go to the Help menu and choose 'Tip of the Day'.

Locations that are red mean the host is firewalled. Choosing results with green speeds and black locations is your best bet for a good download.
