---------------------------------------------

To Install

Run thefragile.exe, you will be prompted to extract the files to C:\Program Files\Plus!\Themes\ by default. If you would like the files placed elsewhere, you may choose your own path.

To install the theme's screen saver, run nin10-01.exe found in the Screen Saver directory. (C:/Program Files/Plus!/Themes/NIN - The Fragile/Screen Saver/nin10-01.exe)

About
-----
This theme was originally created by me, John Martin during the months of October 1999 through April 2000. The theme was updated to version 2.0 in February of 2000. Version 3.0 of the theme was completed in April 2000. The update included a touch up for the static cursors, new web view images, slightly altered audio files, new logo screens, new icons, and all new wallpapers.  The update to version 3.01 merely includes an update to the readme file and the theme coding has been updated to be Desktop Architect* compatible.

*If you do not already use Desktop Architect for desktop themes, I highly reccomend it.  It is freeware and puts the Microsoft equivalant to shame.  You can download it at:  http://www.desktoparchitect.com/

Images** were collected from NIN.com (http://www.nin.com), and edited by me using Photoshop. All audio files found in this theme were taken from "The Fragile" and edited by me.

** TR photos used in Web Views and Wallpapers 2&3 collected from varios locations throughout the internet, in all likelyhood from one of the following sites:
The NIN Hotline: http://www.theninhotline.net/
Fountain of Decay: http://members.nbci.com/_XMCM/drinkthe/index.html
