----------------------------------------
1) System Requirements:
-WindowsNT or Windows95
-Microsoft MS-Plus!
-Hi-color Video card
-8-bit stereo Sound card
----------------------------------------
2) Installation:
-Unzip "jimitheme.zip" to C:\Program Files\Plus!\Themes\
(or your standard theme folder)
-Copy the file "electric!.scr" to your C:\Windows\System folder
-Go to the MS-Plus! Desktop Themes icon in your system's control panel.
-Choose the "Jimi Hendrix (high color)" Theme
----------------------------------------
3) Startup and Shutdown screens:
-If you have never copied the following files to a secure folder,
DO IT NOW! These are the files for your startup and shutdown screens:
C:\Logo.sys
C:\Windows\Logow.sys
C:\Windows\Logos.sys
-If you can't find them it's because they are hidden.
Choose "Options" somewhere in your Windows Explorer and set up your
system to view all file types.
-Now you should be able to find the above mentioned files.
-Once you've copied them you just replace all three files by the ones
that came with the zip file. Do this:
Copy the Jimi "Logo.sys" to C:
Copy the Jimi "Logow.sys" to C:\Windows
Copy the Jimi "Logos.sys" to C:\Windows
----------------------------------------
4) Screensaver:
JX Bardant's original Electric! Readme:
1 License, disclaimer ...
-------------------------
This program is ABSOLUTE FREEWARE. You have nothing to pay to me.
This program comes with absolutely NO WARRANTY, more especially
not any warranty about saving anything...
2 Installation
--------------
Just copy the file "electric.scr" to your \windows\system (95)
or \windows\system32 (NT) directory and choose "electric" from
the control panel.
3 Configuration
---------------
Electric requires Windows 95 or Windows NT, version 3.51 or more.
Electric is a computing intensive screen saver.
Although the first version was developped for a 486/66 machine with a 1024*768 display,
the performance will be better with a Pentium and a 640*480 video configuration.
The animation of the images will only run if your video configuration is set to 256 colors.
With True Color or 16 bit configuration Electric will only display static images.
With a 16 colors configuration, the result will be just terrible.
Does it mean that you have to drop True Color and high resolution
to change your video setting down to 640*480 pixels with 256 colorsá?
The answer is definitely no. Since version 1.2, Electricá! is able
to change automatically the video resolution at startup,
by using Microsoft's DirectX.
You can keep your usual configurationá; all you have to do is to
install Microsoft's DirectX and to check the "Allow DirectX
display mode change" box in Electric!'s settings.
