There turned out to be more work in creating this than I had planned 
on doing at the start but here it is. 

Unzip the file into your "Themes" directory making sure to set it 
to create stored sub-directories.

You will notice that there are more icons, sounds, and cursors in 
the Descent Theme direcotory than are being used.  The extras are 
either leftovers from doing all the trial and error until I found 
a set that I liked, or second options where I couldn't make up my 
mind which one to use.

There are also splash screen replacements that are *not* installed 
by default.  See the "Banner Screen Installation Instructions.TXT" 
file if you don't know how to install these.

There are multiple background files available.  I generally run 
my screen at 800x600 so the default background image is set at 
that resolution.  640x480 and 1024x768 files are also available. 
They were all in JPG format at one time but the conversion utility 
to make Jpeg files into background images really trashed the image 
quality so that's why I put the bitmaps back.  That's why the size 
of the Descent Theme directory is so big.  If you don't want to 
keep the extras around feel free to delete them.  



Some others reponsible for all the time this cost me are:

Parallax and Interplay - for the game itself.
DTX - for the ability to extract sounds and images from the game.
Microsoft - for the cursor editors.
Corel - You can't manipulate graphics properly without them.
Jason Vannest - for some of the ideas used. (I blame him the most.)
