To Install
----------

Run thatdog.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.

If you are a Win 95 user you will need to use the theme files found in the that dog Win95 directory.  To use the theme files, place them into your C:\Program Files\Plus!\Themes directory.

This theme includes the font Enviro, this font can be found in the that dog Font directory.  To use the font place it in your C:\Windows\Font directory.

The sounds for this theme have been compressed using MPEG Layer-3 compression.  This is both good news and bad news.  The good news is that you can get stereo quality sound in a smaller package.  The bad news is that you have to have the appropriate sound drivers for MPEG layer 3 installed on your system.  If you've got Microsoft NetShow 2.0 or higher you shouldn't have any problems.  If you don't have NetShow, you can go to the following link to download a copy.

About
-----

This theme was originally created by John Martin in July of 1998.

Version 1.1 update was done in October of 1998.  Color pallets for all icons have been corrected, directory structure has been added to the theme file, image quality for the wallpers has been increased, and a directory structure in the zip file has been added.  While I would like to say that it was I who has made such fabulous improvements to this theme, I can not.  All credit for this update goes to the Theme Doctor. Thanks Doc!

Version 2.0 update was done in December of 1998.  All three wallpapers have been redone, with a new color scheme added for each.  All three sets of icons have been redone and My Documents icons have been added.  There are now two seperate sets of wav files included, all of the original wav files from the original version have been replaced with re-edited versions.  The original static cursors have been replaced with two new sets of animated cursors, the busy and working cursors from the original theme are shared between the two new sets.  Web Views have also now been added to the theme.

Version 2.1 update was done in March of 1999.  The original three wallpapers have been replaced with two new variations in 1024x768 and 800x600 screen resolutions.  The icons have once again been replaced.  The web views found in V2.0 have been replaced.

All images and sounds were taken from the album Retreat from the
Sun by that dog, with the exception of the working and busy animated 
cursors wich were created by MarkSL and downloaded from ZD Net as
freeware.  This theme is freeware and is distributed "as is" without
any explicit or implicit warranties.
