Welcome to The Tick Celebration! a Win95 Theme ----------------------------------- Created by: Basilisk Commons (weblord@newchoices.net) Http://www.newchoices.net/fatfree/ This is my own little tribute not only to the great blue one and his creator but also all those great Tick web pages of yore. This theme is based on the Fox cartoon of Ed Edlunds The Tick. It is completely free of charge. It includes shots from the show, the comics and several now defunct web pages as well as works of my own. ========================================== In this file: description of Theme and its contents; installation instructions for Desktop theme, Logos and Fonts. Also: site suggestions for happy desktop theme hunting. INCLUDED: ======== Windows 95 Desktop Theme, (with a choice of four wallpapers), sounds, icons, cursors,fonts,etc Windows 95 logo screens THIS is a theme based on The Tick and intended for the Windows 95 system. You must have Microsoft Plus! or an equivalent (I prefer Connectivex Desktop Designer!!(http://www.connectix.com/html/desktop_designer.html , FreeTheme or DesktopThemes, both available for download through http://xtn.freethemes.com or http://www.softseek.com). You must also have a decompression tool such as Winzip, TurboZip, Wallaby or Superzip (if you like I'll send you the urls for those, just write me). TO INSTALL: (theme) =========== A U TO M A T I C: Simply unzip with your unzipping utility. If you have 'use folder names' option you may choose that and extract to the C (or your hard drive) directory. The zip utitlity will automatically create the correct folder names. M A N U A L: Create a new folder within your plus! directory (or whatever directory has been designated for desktop themes on your local hard drive): new path should be: C:\Program Files\PLUS!\Themes\The Tick Celebration Now extract file contents, choose all EXCEPT for the theme file itself. You will extract the theme file directly into the Plus folder. Now if you have Plus! go into the Plus folder (via control panel) and do your thang. If you have Freetheme or Desktop Theme simply double click the theme file or right click and choose install OR use the Desktop T interface. ===================================================================== TO INSTALL: logos(start-up, shut down, wait screens) Auto- ========== These are replacement logos, remember: ALWAYS back up your originals first. If you are using DesktopTheme you may install from there by simply clicking the screens tab. I prefer Theme Logo Changer 2.1 Head over to http://www.pcmag.com, and get your copy of Theme Logo Changer Manual- ========== Simply backup your originals (usually found in your C directory) then copy the new ones into your hard drive directory and Voila!
