BAD ATTITUDE'S



Electronica Desktop Theme


NOTICE: This theme is designed for non-commercial reasons and as freeware for those wanting to add to their desktop themes.

Having a strong interest in the development and progress of Electronica it was only a matter of time before I made a theme expressing it. Included are samples taken from a variety of Electronica bands and individuals giving the scope and depth of this style of music. Also included are animated icons, an ultra-cool background and stereo-quality sound-clips. It is my hope that after downloading and enjoying this theme that you too will be more aware of the progress of Electronica and that the music included in the theme will become part of your CD collection. Enjoy !!

SOURCES:

Background Image: Taken from the album cover of " An Introspective Of House " avaiable at all major record stores.

Music Samples : ALL samples are taken from the " Electronica - Full On Big Beats " album released by Circa Records Ltd. The most comprehensive Electronica Album that I've found to date. Make sre that you get your hands on this before their all sold out !!

IMPORTANT!


This Theme requires Microsoft's NetShow to be installed. What is NetShow? It is a streaming audio/video process very similar to RealAudio/Video (which is more well-known). NetShow comes into play with the sound clips that we are using. It uses a codec (compression format) named 'ACM Waveform' with the option of 'MPEG Layer-3'. Many other programs use the 'ACM Waveform' but Netshow is one of the few to implement the 'MPEG Layer-3' option. Using this Waveform together with the codec compresses the sound files without losing much quality as other compression codecs cause. This, in turn, enables us to provide you with top quality Themes in a small package.

Click here to find out whether or not you already have NetShow on your system: Sound. If YES....then

1)Unzip all the files to a 'TEMP' directory.
2)Move all the 'Electronica xxx.xxx' files to your Theme directory.
3)Go into the 'Control Panel', 'Desktop Themes' and select the Theme appropreiate for your screen resolution.
4)Delete all the files in the 'TEMP' directory you created as well as the unneeded 'xxx.jpg' and 'xxx.theme' files.
5)Enjoy!

If NO....then click here NetShow to download your copy FREE! After downloading follow the instructions above.

Bad Attitude would like to thank all of you for supporting us by downloading our Themes. Recently we have moved to a server of our own...hence the slower speeds and undelivered mail...still gotta get those bugs worked out. We are currently using NT 4.0 Workstation with Xitami. We would like to use NT Server 4.0 but money is scarce these days. If you know where we can get a used copy of NT Server 4.0 cheaply...well, we'd kill for it! In addition, on average there are 1,500 Themes being downloaded DAILY! To ensure speedy downloading without the cut in quality we have implemented the sound codec mentioned above. This will not only make things faster but will also SAVE YOU MONEY! Mention (or send this file) this codec to your favorite Theme author and ask them to start using it. The only reason we are pushing this is that it SAVES TIME & MOENY FOR EVERYONE!....something each and every one of us wishes we had more of. Well, here's one way to gain a little back without sacrificing anything! Spread the word and get those file sizes smaller.

Enjoy!
