Create-a-Theme 95 Shareware Version 2.0
Released on the 7th of August, 1997

Create-a-Theme 95 - the easiest utility to use if you wish to
make your own themes for Microsoft Windows 95 Plus!

Thank you for downloading Create-a-Theme 95. Remember that this
is a shareware program, and is yours to evaluate for 30 days,
after which time you must either register, or delete the program
from your computer. You will only be able to load themes for
the first 15 days. Feel free to give this shareware program to 
any people you feel may like it.

You are not allowed to distribute any themes that you create with
the shareware version of Create-a-Theme 95. You must first register
this version, and you will then be able to distribute all of your
themes, as well as receiving heaps of other features in the program.

INSTALLATION
============

To Install Create-a-Theme 95, run the Setup program. Make sure
that you close any programs that you may have running before
you run setup. You are then ready to run Create-a-Theme 95.


RUNNING THE PROGRAM
===================

Go to the directory that you installed the program. If you don't
know where you installed the program, look in
C:\Program Files\Create-a-Theme 95\ (this is the default directory).
Double click on the Create-a-Theme 95.exe file, and the program will
(hopefully :) run.

TUTORIAL
========

Once you have started the program, you will be greeted with the
Tip of the Day. Click on "Ok". You will then be requested to
select whether you want to open a theme, or create a new theme.
If you want to make your own theme then just type the name of the
theme you want to create in the text box and then click "Continue".
Or if you want to open a theme, then click on the text box and select
a theme to open from the dialog box.

THE MAIN SCREEN
===============
Now you are ready to make or change your theme. You are presented
with  a screen that contains 4 buttons (Register, Load, Save and
Exit), and a tabbed interface. Use the tabs to navigate through the
program. Each tab contains a certain aspect of the theme. There are
the Mouse Pointers, Sounds, Visuals, Colors, and ReadMe File.

Mouse Pointers
==============
On the Mouse Pointers tab, you are able to select the pointers that
you want for your theme, and view the ones already selected. The
program is unable to display animated mouse pointers, so if you do
select an animated cursor, instead of displaying it in the picture
box, it will be displayed as a picture with the writing ".ANI" on it.
It can be confusing at first to know which mouse pointer is which.
So, to make it easy, whenever you move the mouse pointer over a
button, it will change to that particular mouse pointer, e.g. when
you move the mouse over the button that says "Text Select", the
default text select mouse pointer will appear.

Sounds
======
Click on the buttons to change that particular sound. If a sound has
been selected, a play button will appear beside the button. By
clicking on the play button, you will be able to listen to the sound
that you just selected.

Visuals
=======
By clicking on the Visuals tab, you will be able to select all of the
visual elements for your theme. This includes the My Computer,
Network Neighbourhood, and Recycle Bin Icons, and the Wallpaper, as
well as the screen saver. If you select a .jpg picture for the
background then you will not be able to preview it. A picture will be
displayed that says "Preview Unavailable".

Colors
======
At this tab screen, you will be able to either select your own colors
for your theme, or select some pre-defined colors from other themes,
as well as import color files from other themes. You can also make
your own color files to share with your friends, and upload to the
Create-a-Theme 95 Homepage. To select your own colors, click on the
option button that says "Choose your own colors" and then by clicking
on the text, you will be able to change that particular color. Click
on the Load Color File button, and a dialog box will appear. Find the
color file that you want to open, and then click on the "Ok" button.
The color file is now loaded.

ReadMe File
===========
To make it easy to distribute your theme over the internet or via
some other medium, Create-a-Theme 95 enables you to create and edit
a ReadMe.txt file (like this one) that explains how to use the theme
and how to install it. There is a default ReadMe file included with
the program, so you don't have to be an expert at themes to be able
to distribute them. When you register for the full version of
Create-a-Theme 95, you will receive an installation program to
distribute with your themes, which copies all of your files into the
correct directory's, which means the user doesn't have to know
anything about themes either. That's what's so good about
Create-a-Theme 95 v2.0. You don't need to know anything about themes,
but you can quickly and easily create themes and share them, without
anyone knowing how to program, install, copy and run themes.

FINAL NOTE
==========
Remember, this is a shareware product - it is not free. You can
evaluate the program over a 30 day period after which time you must
decide to either purchase it, or delete it from your computer.
Please support shareware. Read and print out Order.txt for more
information. The cost is only US$20 or Australian$26 - a small price
to pay for all the fun and enjoyment that you will get from this
program.
