Pros:
It's time to get a life or at least a portion of it. This theme pack contains graphics and sounds from a game that has already changed a lot of lives. Possibly a life addiction to games is the appropriate term. At any rate, if you're into the game scene, check out this download. There's an 800x600 Plus! converted bitmap for smaller 256-color file size along with several cutout gun type icons, sounds straight from the source, a couple of cursors, and an appropriate bullet hole screen saver. Finally, a chance to shoot windows and get away with it!

Cons:
First of all, there is no documentation included for installation instructions, which means you'll have to pop open the main theme file and look at the raw code to figure out the proper installation directory. Icons and cursors are rough images. The 'Network Neighborhood' icon and 'Busy' cursor settings don't match the background. It looks like someone forgot the transparency with those. Most of the other cursors are the standard type and a few are left unassigned. The wallpaper is only available for 800x600 display sizes and looks like it's been through the 256-color filtering ringer. Don't even plan on trying to stretch or shrink this one to fit your desktop.

Overall:
Just be sure to install it in a new directory called 'CS11' within your themes directory if you want it to load properly. Other than that, better graphics would do wonders for this theme pack.
