ABOUT THE THEME:
This has got to be one of my favorite movies of all time and so to share my enthusiasm with the world I thought I'd try my hand at making a theme.  Since this is my first complete theme package that I've ever done and released to the public, feedback would be greatly appreciated and I'd love to hear from you and I hope you enjoy it.

I should give credit where credit is due so here goes... 

- The theme was edited with Destop Themes v1.87.
- The Theme was packaged using WinZip v7.0 SR-1 (1285)
- The Wallpapers and webview images were made using Corel Draw 8 and Corel Photo Paint 8.
- The Cursors were made using Microangelo 98 v4.77.
- The Icons were made using Microangelo 98 v4.77.
- The logos were made using Corel Photo Paint 8 and XrX Animated Logo Utility v2.5.3.122.
- The sounds were edited using SmartSound for Multimedia v1.5.
- The screensaver is Matrix Code Emulator v1.12 from http://www.chaossoft.com.
- The sounds and pictures were captured using a Dazzle DVC.
- If anyone knows the origin of the font, let me know and I'll give appropriate credit.

- Of course, Microsoft owns the rights to all their stuff, The movie company owns the rights to all the pictures. This theme is not intended to make money for me or anyone else and you may pass it around freely with the condition that the original archive remain intact.

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS:

- Windows 95, Windows98 
- WinZip v7 or higher
- Microsoft Plus!95 or 98 or corresponding theme application.
- Video card capable of at least 256 color mode, 800x600 resolution.
- MPEG Layer-3 Sound Support. The sound files are in 56 kBit/s, 24,000 Hz Stereo format.
  If you need the software, you can download and install Microsoft NetShow at
  (http://www.microsoft.com/netshow/).

INSTALLATION

-- General Notes --
1. The .theme file references the theme directory as %themedir% so the theme file will run properly regardless of the actual location of the 'Matrix2000' directory. However, all the support files must be in the proper subdirectory of 'Matrix2000' See the file list below.
2. The installation/backup/restore batch files are *NOT* generic.  They WILL NOT WORK if your theme directory isn't 'C:\Program Files\Plus!\Themes'  If your theme directory is something else, you'll have to perform the installation/backup/restore steps manually.  If you're unsure of what to do, just use the batch files as a guide and change the paths accordingly.

-- Theme File --
1. Unzip the file 'Matrix2000.zip' to the root directory of your 'C' Drive. Using WinZip, ensure you select "All Files" and "Use Folder Names." This will extract the files to the standard theme directory C:\Program Files\Plus!\Themes\. If this is not your theme directory, then just extract the files manualy into the paths listed. (see above)

-- Screen Saver --
1. To install the screensaver run the file '...\Screensaver\Screensaver Install.bat'

-- Font --
To install the font run the file '...\fonts\Font Install.bat'

-- Logo Screens --
1. To first back up your existing logos, run the file '...\Logos\Logo Backup.bat'  This will copy your existing logos into the directory '...\Logos\Original\'
2. To install the Startup and shutdown logos, run the file '...\Logos\Logo Install.bat'  This will make backup copies of your existing logos in the '...\Logos\' directory and copy the new logo files to their appropriate locations.
3. To restore your original logos, run the file '...\Logos\Logo Restore.bat'

-- Webview Images --
1. If your theme program supports webview images, they will be installed automatially.
2. If you need to install them manually, use the following steps.
   a. To first back up your existing webview images, run the file '...\Webview\Webview Backup.bat'  This will copy your existing webview images into the directory '...\Webview\Original\'
   b. To install the webview images for Matrix2000 run the file '...\Webview\Webview Install.bat'
   c. To install the webview images for Matrix2000 Neo run the file '...\Webview\Webview Neo Install.bat'
   d. To install the webview images for Matrix2000 Trinity run the file '...\Webview\Webview Trinity Install.bat'
