In order to use a theme you must be using Windows 95 or Windows 98 and have Plus! installed or be using another theme manager program.  This theme is self installing and will install to the default directory C:\program files\Plus!\themes.  If this is not your theme directory you will have the option to change the install path. 

The theme has three  wallpaper sizes, you can use whichever resolution you normally use and delete the others along with their .theme file if you wish, the colors will look best at 16-bit high color. 

Included in the zip is the Halloween font, double click the exe and it will install to the font directory, if you get a message that the font is already installed then just close the window, you don't have to install it again. Sometimes you will need to reboot your computer for the new font to take effect and then apply the theme again.  If the font still doesn't show up for the theme, then go the font folder (in the control panel) find the Halloween font and double click on it, then close it out and apply the theme again. 

The matching screen saver will install to the proper directory.

The sounds have been converted to MPEG Layer 3 format which greatly reduces the file size without affecting the sound quality.  If you can not hear the sounds you will need to download the MPEG Layer 3 codec to your computer.   http://themestress.com/sounds.html

From this site you can download the codec and other helpful sound troubleshooting tips are there as well.  This site has some wonderful themes that you may want to check out and add to your theme collection.

*Just a note on sound events: If you don't like a sound event in a theme you can turn it off by following this procedure: go to MY COMPUTER- CONTROL PANEL- SOUNDS- HIGHLIGHT THE SOUND EVENT YOU WANT TO TURN OFF- UNDER NAME- CLICK THE ARROW DOWN AND HIGHLIGHT NONE- CLICK YES YOU DO NOT WANT A SOUND FOR THIS EVENT- THEN HIT APPLY.  This will not delete the sound from your computer, the next time you apply the theme it will be there but this way you can turn off a sound that might be annoying :) 

The wallpaper, icons and cursors are my original work. They may not be taken out of this theme and used in ANY way without my written permission.

Sounds were recorded various Halloween sound effects CD.

The Logo screens are an optional install.
To install the logo screens double click on Boo!Logos.exe (found in the Boo! folder in your theme directory) this will install the logo screens and make backup copies of your original logo screens. Double click the exe file again to restore your original logo screens. A help file is included.

To remove this theme, delete the Boo! folder and Boo!.Theme file(s).If you have installed the logo screens don't forget to return your logos to the originals before deleting the theme.

To delete the screen saver: go to Start, Programs, Windows Explorer, Windows, system and delete the Boo!.scr file.
