     (1) Introduction

     Welcome to the Blondie/Autoamerican Theme

     This is a copy of a freeware desktop theme package for Windows95
     with MS Plus!  The theme commemorates the Blondie album "Autoamerican". 
     For more information visit the Blondie Web Site at; 
     http://www.thehub.com.au/~bchudso/blondie.html

     Please take a few minutes to read the system requirements and
     installation.

     I hope you enjoy this theme as much as I did in making it.

     Faithfully,

     (2) System Requirements

     * Windows95

     * Microsoft Plus! add-on enhancement/upgrade.  
         
     * Video card capable of at least "Hi-color resolution".  A 
         256-color card is also acceptable though not optimal.  
         Please don't try using this theme with only 16 colors.

     * Video resolution preferably at 800x600 pixels,
         (but it can work also with 640x480 pixels)

     * Sound card with at least 16-bit wave PCM capabilities.

     (3) Installation & Removal

     To install the theme unzip* the files into any temporary directory such  as;
    ***C:\Temp*** on your computer.  When unzipped you will have a directory
     structure that will look something like this:  
      
    	*****C:\Temp\Themes\Auto*****
   
     Move the "Auto " folder and the 3 "Autoamerican.theme" files to the *DEFAULT*
     MS Plus! themes folder (i.e. the directory where MS Plus! has installed all of 
     its theme files on your computer).  This is usually:

               *****  C:\Program Files\Plus!\Themes\ *****

     {Please maintain the original directory structure (i.e. leave the all the files
     except for the "Autoamerican.theme" files in the folder called "Auto".  When installed
     correctly your directory structure should look like this;}
     
               ****C:\Program Files\Plus!\Themes\Auto*****
     
     Afterwards, go into your MS Plus! Desktop theme manager (in  your system's control
     panel) and choose the "Autoamerican" theme.  You should also be aware the theme package
     comes with four variations, including different backgrounds, icons, etc.  They are 
     titled "Autoamerican", "Autoamerican1" and "Autoamerican2.

     You're done!

     To remove this theme, simply go into the Themes folder and 
     delete the "Auto" directory and the three theme files.     

     *If you don't have your own copy of Winzip for windows, please download a copy at

     Some of the elements (ie. cursors,) of the "Debbie Harry" theme
     were modified from existing sources found publicly on the WWW.

     My thanks go to Jeff Lo and Brett Hudson who helped with advice,

     credit goes to Blondie for the music.
