1. Make a new folder called "Avro Arrow" in your C:\Program Files\Plus!\Themes directory.
2. Unzip the theme into this folder using Winzip or Pkunzip.
3. Move or copy the two Avro Arrow.theme files to the C:\Program Files\Plus!\Themes directory.
4. When you want to run the theme go to the Control Panel and then to Themes. You will have the choice of two "Arrow" themes each with 800 X 600 resolution.
The Sounds:
Sounds for this theme were taken from the movie "The Arrow." A great two part made for T.V. movie starring Dan Aykroyd. Other sounds and effects I got from Wav. and Flight simulator sites on the net.
The Wallpapers:
Both of the wallpapers I got in part from various Arrow sites on the net. They were then edited and modified for these Themes with Adobe Photoshop.
The Icons:
All the icons were made with Microangelo. If you don't have it, get it!
This is my first theme and I did work very hard on it. It is my goal that you enjoy the theme and learn about the history of the Avro Arrow. I have also tried give you a quality product and any comments are welcome.

A Bit Of History:
After its first flight March, 1958, the Arrow was soon flying at 1,300 miles per hour, almost twice the speed of sound, and reaching altitudes of 58,000. Forty years later the Canadian Armed Forces CF-18 Hornet is barely able to match this achievement. A simple glance at other 1950's aircraft reveals how the Arrow's startling, innovative shape must have stretched the defense industry's definition of what a fighter plane should look like. And in many other ways beyond its appearance, the Arrow broke new ground by discovering the engineering required to fly a manned aircraft across the sky at twice the speed of sound. The U.S., Britain, and Russia were stunned.
