Quake2 File Fanatic Desktop Theme for Microsoft Plus! ----------------------------------------------------- by Jeffrey Clark - cowgod@azstarnet.com http://www.quake2.com/fanatic Screen Saver by Tim Hitchings - timh@panix.com http://www.panix.com/~timh **ABOUT I feel this is a pretty good theme pack. It has all new sounds, icons, cursors, animated cursors, wallpaper, and a nifty screen saver to boot; even a startup and shutdown screen! So, I hope you enjoy it, and by all means give me feed back on it! **REQUIREMENTS There really aren't any requirements, other than you use high color (anything more than 256 colors), and your screen resolution is at 640 x 480 or higher. **INSTALL To install this theme, just run the .exe file. Make sure you (1) Restore the pathnames and (2) make it unzip into your c:\ directory. This will make a new directory called "Q2ff" under c:\program files\plus!\themes. Also, it puts my wallpaper in c:\windows and the screen saver into c:\windows\system. To finally install the theme, go to Control Panel, and Desktop Themes, and select "Q2FF (high color)" from the menu. **INSTALLING THE START UP AND SHUT DOWN SCREENS BE VERY CAREFUL!!!!! YOU MUST FIRST CREATE A BACKUP OF YOUR ORIGINAL START UP AND SHUT DOWN SCREENS BEFORE YOU INSTALL THE ONES INCLUDED IN THIS DESKTOP THEME PACK!!!!! Here is what you must do. First, if you have special files hidden, open up any window (ie. My Computer) and go to the "View" menu. Select "Options..." and click the "View" tab. There should be a radio button that says "Show all files". Select that, hit "Apply" and then hit "OK". Next, open up your c:\ directory and find the file named "logo.sys". Also, there's a file in your c:\windows directory called "logow.sys". These are your current start up and shut down screens. SAVE BOTH OF THESE FILES into a different directory, anywhere you want, just don't forget where you saved them so that later on you can put them back when you get sick of mine. =) OK, now that you have them backed up, open up my theme folder c:\program files\plus!\themes\q2ff. There are my two start up and shut down screens in there, called "Q2FFlogo.sys" and "Q2FFlogow.sys". You need to rename them just like your original files, "logo.sys" and "logow.sys". After you rename them, place the "logo.sys" in your c:\ directory, and "logow.sys" in your c:\windows directory. That's it. Reboot the computer and see the new screens! Whenever you want to install your other screens back, just reverse the above steps. **INSTALL IF YOU DON'T HAVE MICROSOFT PLUS! If you don't have Microsoft Plus!, don't worry, just install all the files manually. If you are unsure how to put all the files in their correct places, visit my F.A.Q. at http://www.quake2.com/fanatic/faq.html **LEGAL Feel free to distribute this theme pack, on two conditions; you don't alter any files, and ALL files, including this README, are included.
