************STANDING STONE DESKTOP THEME FOR WINDOWS 95**************

This theme is intended for use with Plus!

Unzipping the Rev.zip files should have given you:

This ssreadme.txt file
Standing Stone.theme file
Sherwood.ttf file
.wav, .ico, .cur, .ani. and .jpg files

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

Unzip into your Program Files/Plus!/Themes folder. All the files except the Sherwood.ttf and Standing Stone.theme 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 "Standing Stone" (don't abbreviate or skip the caps!) and you MUST put the Standing Stone.theme file back be out in the Themes folder itself.   
Move the Sherwood.ttf file to C:/Windows/Fonts

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

********SOUNDS**********
This is a music theme, so be prepared for music!  As a result, 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. (I did not set a default "close program .wav" for this theme, but if you set one, it will overlap the "windows exit.wav" on shutdown.) If this is annoying to you, 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********

Some additional icons have been provided.  To change to these go to Control Panel/ Display/Plus! and select a different icon from the Standing Stone folder. To change or remove one of the animated cursors , go to Control Panel/Mouse/Pointers, and make changes for "waiting" and/or "busy." Remember to save any changes under Desktop Themes as explained below, or all the defaults will be back next time you boot up!  

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

To make changes stay in place after reboots, select the sounds/icons/cursors you want as explained above.  When they are in place, go the Control Panel, Desktop Themes, and click on "Save as", then on "Standing Stone.theme."  (Remember that this is out in the Themes folder itself, not in the Standing Stone 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.
