BAD ATTITUDE'S



Beck Desktop Theme


NOTICE: This is a non-commercial theme designed by Jason Viney at The Slip - where many music themes are housed. For those after more themes related to Electronica and Alternative forms then just type the above address into your browser and come on over..

Beck has always been a favorite artist of mine and I wonder why it has taken me so long to design a theme based on him and his music for Windows95 PLUS Users. All the sound-bytes are taken from the latest album, "Odelay", which of course you will want to purchase after downloading this theme. The songs are great, the lyrics are superb and Beck would have to be one of the best singer-songwriters of the 90's. For more information you can check out the link below where you will find the latest info about the man and his music. Beck Web

Enjoy the theme and enjoy the music !!

IMPORTANT!


This Theme requires Microsoft's NetShow to be installed. What is NetShow? It is a streaming audio/video process very similar to RealAudio/Video (which is more well-known). NetShow comes into play with the sound clips that we are using. It uses a codec (compression format) named 'ACM Waveform' with the option of 'MPEG Layer-3'. Many other programs use the 'ACM Waveform' but Netshow is one of the few to implement the 'MPEG Layer-3' option. Using this Waveform together with the codec compresses the sound files without losing much quality as other compression codecs cause. This, in turn, enables us to provide you with top quality Themes in a small package.

Click here to find out whether or not you already have NetShow on your system: Sound. If YES....then

1)Unzip all the files to a 'TEMP' directory.
2)Move all the 'Beck xxx.xxx' files to your Theme directory.
3)Go into the 'Control Panel', 'Desktop Themes' and select the appropreiate Theme.
6)Delete all the files in the 'TEMP' directory you created as well as the unneeded 'xxx.jpg' and 'xxx.theme' files.
7)Enjoy!

If NO....then click here NetShow to download your copy FREE! After downloading follow the instructions above.

Bad Attitude would like to thank all of you for supporting us by downloading our Themes. Recently we have moved to a server of our own...hence the slower speeds and undelivered mail...still gotta get those bugs worked out. We are currently using NT 4.0 Workstation with Xitami. We would like to use NT Server 4.0 but money is scarce these days. If you know where we can get a used copy of NT Server 4.0 cheaply...well, we'd kill for it! In addition, on average there are 1,500 Themes being downloaded DAILY! To ensure speedy downloading without the cut in quality we have implemented the sound codec mentioned above. This will not only make things faster but will also SAVE YOU MONEY! Mention (or send this file) this codec to your favorite Theme author and ask them to start using it. The only reason we are pushing this is that it SAVES TIME & MOENY FOR EVERYONE!....something each and every one of us wishes we had more of. Well, here's one way to gain a little back without sacrificing anything! Spread the word and get those file sizes smaller.

Enjoy!
