Pros:
Here's an inventive piece of work, to say the least. The wallpaper is an
800x800 pixel 256-color bitmap of artistic textures and swirl effects,
very similar to the assorted images included in the screen saver that
also comes with this package. Some of the icon and cursor files look
familiar with others in the public domain but they have also been
tweaked or edited to give a somewhat different appearance. Sound files
are short game type beep and bleep sound effects, perfect for computing.
Installation consists of 3 self-extracting exe files which place the
screen saver, theme file and theme components in their proper location
with the ability to change locations if necessary.
Cons:
'Software\Classes\' needs to be removed from the main theme file
code for Windows 95 Plus! users, otherwise there will be icon problems
in the system registry. Several cursor associations are unassigned.
Icons could use a little more creativity. Wallpaper does not stretch
well due to the non-standard 800x800 pixel image size. Sound quality is
inconsistent.
Overall:
It's an interesting idea and has the potential to be a very fun desktop
theme. However, at this point it has not reached its potential. Some
things that would improve this desktop theme would be to remove the
software\classes coding from the theme file, resize the wallpaper to a
standard screen size, add more cursors that are complimentary to the
theme, and to create some original higher quality sound files. Throwing
in a few extras such as logos and web views would also improve the
overall quality of this theme.
