Aim 6.8 Skin: Leopard OS X
Introduction
OS X Leopard is a skin featuring a design similar to Apple’s OS X Leopard.
OS X Leopard is a part of the OS skin pack which includes five skins:
- AimXP
- AIMXP Blue
- Vista Basic
- OSX Leopard
- OSX Leopard White
Each skin is included in the pack, you do not need to download them separately.
Getting Started
Adding skins to Aim 6 requires the knowledge of using zip files, overwriting a file, and navigating folder directories. If you have trouble with any of these concepts, be sure to read an in-depth tutorial which details the process for you.
The instructions will install the skin at a specific directory highlighted in green. Since the theme supports an obsolete AIM version, it is recommended you download Aim 6.8 at websites like oldversion.com. The instructions will assume you have Aim 6.8 installed.
For more information read the last page of the in-depth tutorial on skins and their compatibilities.
Please Note!
Warning: Installing any skin pack on this site will overwrite existing custom skins. This skin pack ONLY contains the skins listed in the introduction. Before continuing please be sure you understand the concepts of opening and extracting a zip file.
Currently this skin pack supports Aim 6 version: 6.8.14.6
To check your AIM version number Open AIM.
Click: Help > About AIM

Sorry..Duplicate..lol
To apply the theme, click on the color picker and choose the new icon. The overwrite instructions is just for that aim version unless you manually changed the version number with the new Aim 6.8 that was just released.
When i go to the color picker it just shows the normal ones..i followed the overwrite instructions thoroughly…
When i go to the color picker it just shows the normal ones..i followed the overwrite instructions thoroughly… I have AIM Version 6.5.12.1
Open this file in notepad:
C:\program files\aim6\services\imApp\
ver6_5_12_1\content\bl\blgadgets.box
In notepad, Click on Edit, then Click on Find.
Type the word “leopard”
Does it exist in that file?
Nope…that’s weird.
Is it supposed to exist?
Yep, if it doesn’t exist it means you did not overwrite that file from the zip file, and possibly the other two files that you were supposed to overwrite.
When i try to overwrite the files it says access is denied and it cannot create the folder.
This is what it said with themes.box: !
C:\Users\Tege\Desktop\leopardosx6-2.5.12.1.zip: Cannot create leopardosx6.5.12.1\themes.box
! Access is denied.

What you can do is unzip the file to desktop then dragging that file over to the appropriate location on the C:\ drive.
Still not working for me man…I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. Thanks for all of your help though!
