Theme: Surfing Alien
Version: 1.0
Author: T. Hsu (drhsudc@yahoo.com)

This desktop theme is free.
There are 4 different backgrounds for the Surfing Alien theme.

Each background comes in the following sizes: 800x600, 1024x768, 1400x1050.
	I included a 1400x1050 size screen for each of the theme files for
	use by those who wish to have a nice rendering at high-resolution.

It took me about 4 weeks to create this theme, as this is my first attempt at creating a theme.


-------------------------------------Alternate Installation-------------------------------------

*** Important ***

	Please use these installation instructions if you would like to install
	ONLY certain sizes from the choices of 800x600, 1024x768, or 1400x1050 of the
	Surfing Alien theme on your PC (i.e. 1 size, or 2 sizes only). If you do not
	wish to use the Alternate Installation instructions, just scroll down for the
	General Installation instructions. This works best if you are using WinZip 6.0
	or higher, as my instructions are for WinZip.

	(You can download WinZip 8.0 from http://www.winzip.com)

1. Unzip ALL the files in this zip file EXCEPT for both the Background (.JPG) files AND the
	Theme (.Theme) files of the sizes you do NOT want installed on your system:

	A. Start by first highlighting ALL the files in the zip file

	B. Un-highlight the files you do not want by holding the CTRL-key down
		and Left-clicking on the file(s) you want to un-highlight

	D. Click on the EXTRACT icon at the top of the WinZip window

	D. Delete any path name that shows up in the "Extract to" window

	E. Be sure the file type radio button that is chosen is the "Selected Files" button

	F. Be sure that the "Use Folder Names" box has a check-mark in it

	G. Click "Extract"

2. Open your Theme Manager (MS Plus or Desktop Architect) and select
	any of the Surfing Alien themes from your list.

	
-------------------------------------General Installation-------------------------------------

*** Important ***

	Please use these installation instructions if you would like to install
	all 3 sizes (800x600, 1024x768, 1400x1050) of the Surfing Alien theme on your PC:

1. Unzip all the files using WinZip 6.0 or higher (http://www.winzip.com).
	Be sure to click on "Use Folder Names," and delete any path name that is
	in the "Extract files to" window before clicking "extract." This will install
	the Surfing Alien themes and accessories into the proper directories. It will
	create a folder called "Surfing Alien" in the process and extract the files into
	the proper destination folders. If you wish to manage unzipping manually, just
	refer to the path destination for the exact locations of the files.

2. Open your Theme Manager (MS Plus or Desktop Architect) and select
	any of the Surfing Alien themes from your list.
