READ THIS FIRST! C&C Plus! Themes for Windows 95 -- Version 1.2 YOU MUST UNZIP THEMES12.ZIP WITH WINZIP32! You need the long file names! YOU MUST HAVE THE PLUS PACK TO MAKE THE ENTIRE THEME WORK! If you don't have Plus!, you can add the mouse pointers, backgrounds, and sounds by hand (from the control panel). Sorry, the colors will be inaccessable, though :( With that out of the way.... Greetings! Thanks for the interest in the Westwood C&C Themes! You will find three themes in the enclosed zip. One is GDI, one is NOD, and the other is an EVA-type theme. Each of them have accompanying sounds and icons, and there's a bunch of extra stuff in the zip (sounds and icons) so you can customize it to your liking if you don't like the choices. Note that these themes will ONLY work in 16Bit (high) color or above! There aren't enough colors available in a 256 color palette to cover windows colors and our C&C palette... without a lot of time invested in re-mapping, that is. There are 48x48 and 32x32 sizes for all the icons, so if you use "large icon mode", you'll see the icons in even more detail. There are also two versions of many of the icons (ie. C&C Airstrip and C&C Airstrip II). The first version is the entire object, and the II's are cut-pieces that maintain the scale. The II's are easier to view at higher resolutions. TO USE: Unzip the THEMES12.ZIP file into your "Plus!\themes" directory. This is usually under "c:\program files" directory, but some people move it around. If you didn't, it would be "c:\program files\plus!\themes". Once unzipped, load the Desktop themes control from your control panel in Win 95, and you should see the three new items in the theme selection bar, C&C GDI, C&C NOD, and C&C EVA. Have fun! If you're having trouble with these themes, blame it all (in e-mail) on Virtual Ted! Write him at support@westwood.com with the subject "C&C plus! themes" You can also send praise or comments for future versions -- we do read them!
