****** MAGICAL MYSTERY TOUR DESKTOP THEME FOR WINDOWS 95****

This theme is intended for use with Plus!

Unzipping the mmt.zip files should have given you:

This mmt readme.txt file
MMT.theme file
.wav, .ico, .cur, .ani. and .jpg files

********INSTRUCTIONS******** 

Unzip into your Program Files/Plus!/Themes folder. All the files are named so that they stay together in the Themes folder, but you may prefer to place them in a subfolder of Themes.  If you do this, you MUST name the folder "Magical Mystery Tour" (don't abbreviate) and you MUST put the MMT.theme file back be out in the Themes folder itself.   

To start the theme, go to Control Panel, Desktop Themes, and find "MMT" in the drop down menu.  Select it and then click "OK."

********SOUNDS**********

You may find the theme is simply too "noisy" for your tastes (or for some poor non-Beatle soul who has to share a computer with you), in which case you need to go to Control Panel, Sounds and deselect some of the sounds by replacing them with "none."    If you have your computer set to open multiple programs on start up, you will get repeated playing of the "open program" .wav when you boot up and the 'close program .wav when you shut down.  You need to select "none" for the "open program" and "close program" sounds.  Remember to save this change under Desktop Themes or all those sounds will be back next time you boot up!  (Instructions on that later.) 

The sounds have been saved in Microsoft ADCPM format to reduce their size.  If they will not play on your system, e-mail me and request the Revolver Sounds in 8 bit stereo. 

*******Icons/Animated Cursors********

To use the additional icons included go to Control Panel/Display/Plus and select a different cursor from the mmt folder. 

To change the animated cursors, go to Control Panel/Mouse/Pointers, and select another cursor.  

Remember to save any changes under Desktop Themes as explained below, or all the default cursors will be back next time you boot up!  

********Saving Changes*******

To make changes stay in place after reboots, select the sounds/cursors
/icons you want.  When they are in place, go the Control Panel, Desktop Themes, and click on "Save as", then on "MMT.theme."  (Remember that this is out in the Themes folder itself, not in the Magical Mystery Tour folder.)  A prompt will tell you this file already exists and ask if you want to replace it.  Say "yes."  This will change the default sounds for this theme so you won't have to re-select everytime you turn the computer on.
