Hello.  Thank you for trying out this theme.


INSTALLATION: (note: If you were using a previous version of this theme,
-------------  you must first delete the "ALIENS The Movie" dir from
               your Plus dir.)

  1) Open the AliensTM.ZIP file in WinZip.
  2) Click on the EXTRACT button.
  3) This will open the Extract Window.  In the "Extract To:" box,
     select the directory that contains your themes.  Will probably
     be C:\PROGRAM FILES\PLUS!\THEMES
  4) In the "Files" box, select "All Files".
  5) Check "Overwrite Existing Files" and "Use Folder Names".
  6) Click on the "Extract" button.  This will automatically
     create an ALIENS The Movie  directory in your themes directory and
     extract the files there.
  7) Load the theme with the Desktop Themes program.

 
CHANGING WALLPAPER RESOLUTION:
------------------------------
If you notice, I have included two versions of the same background
image.  One is for 800x600 desktops while the other is for 1024x768.
I've done this because Windows doesn't do a very good job at resizing
the background.  If you want to change from one background to the
other, follow these steps:

 1) Open the .theme file in a text editor
 2) Find the line that contains the background's filename (or just
    search for .jpg)
 3) Replace the old name with the new
 4) Save the .theme file

Now when you you load the theme again, it will use the new background.


CONVERTING TO "PG" VERSION:
-------------------------
To change the "Question" and "Empty Recycle Bin" events to swearless
sounds, follow these steps...

  1) Open the Control Panel and run the Sounds utility.
  2) Select "Question" and click on the Browse button.
  3) Browse to the ALIENS directory and select "ALIENS Question-Clean".
  4) Do the same for "Empty Recycle Bin".
  5) Close Sounds and run Desktop Themes.
  6) Re-save the theme.


Enjoy!

  Dan


NEW TO THIS VERSION:
--------------------
 - Re-recorded all the sounds.  They are now in stereo and sound much
   cleaner.
 - Added some new sounds (including some PG ones for those who
   have children or just don't like potty-mouths.)
 - Tweaked the scheme some.
