How To Install Themes

First you need to have a zip utility such as Winzip, and a desktop theme program such as MS Plus!, desktop themes, or XTheme Manager (Windows 98 comes with a built-in themes manager).

• Download the theme of your choice.
• Open up the theme zip file you just downloaded.
• Verify that the theme already has the path set for you or not.
• If the path is already set then unzip it to your hard drive; this is in most cases c:\
• If the path is not set you may need to check and see if there is a readme file and read this to make sure you unzip your files to the correct place.
• Most themes will work after unzipping all the files into c:\program files\plus!\themes\
• For some themes you need to create a folder named the same as the theme title in c:\program files\plus!\themes\ For example: If you download a theme called Star Trek, you have to unzip the theme file probably named startrek.theme into c:\program files\plus!\themes\ and unzip the rest of the files into c:\program files\plus!\themes\Startrek\
• If the theme still doesn't work you may have to make sure your spelling is correct and it is not spelled Startrec. If you are using Ms Plus! desktop themes program then you can open up Ms Plus! and select the theme from the list and then click on pointers, sounds, etc. and then on Visuals if you are missing your wallpaper and then click on wallpaper bitmap and look below where it says File name - this is where your wallpaper file should be to work correctly, so make sure you double check the location and name.
• Open your desktop theme program, select the theme and click on Apply (in some programs this can be Install) desktop theme.
