U2 ZOO TV THEME FOR MICROSOFT PLUS!
-----------------------------------


WELCOME

Firstly, thanks for at least reading the README file and thanks for installing trying out this theme!


INSTALLATION

If you have had no experience whatsoever with Microsoft Plus! themes, then please, read this section.

Installation is relatively straightforward. Using a Windows95 compliant un-zipper (eg. WinZip) extract the files from the ZOOTVTHM.ZIP archive. This archive contains the extra directory information so that the theme itself will be extracted to the /Program Files/Plus!/Themes directory, the supporting files to the /Program Files/Plus!/Themes/U2 Zoo TV directory and the accompanying screen saver, ZooSave, to the /Windows directory. All these directories are the default directories specified during installation of Plus!. If you customised the installation of Plus! the theme may not work.

Once the files have been extracted, selecting the theme is easy. Simply open the Control Panel, double click on the Desktop Themes icon and from the drop-down list, choose the U2 Zoo TV theme. Just click on the OK button and you are done.


ABOUT

This theme was created for U2 fans worldwide - in particular, for the fans of the epic Zoo TV tour. I compiled it in a day while on holidays from university using pictures snapped up of the internet, cursors that are pretty standard, sound clips that I sampled and the ZooSave screensaver created by Andrew Cowley (Andrew, if you're out there, thanks!)

Here's a list of the theme's components
* My Computer Icon - The line art TV from the concert T-shirts and Edge's beanie.
* Network Neighbourhood Icon - The line art satellite dish from all over the Zoo TV.
* Full Recycle Bin Icon - The line art trabant, like those above.
* Empty Recycle Bin Icon - The sad astronaut from the Zooropa album cover.
* Wallpaper - A collage of Zoo TV style images.
* Default Sound - The chimes from Babyface.
* Program Error - Bono in So Cruel.
* Menu Popup - Drums from the beginning of Numb.
* Menu Command - Guitar from the beginning of Numb.
* Minimise - 'On your knees boy!' from Mysterious Ways.
* Asterisk - Bono crying out 'Lemon!'.
* Exit Windows - Final bars of Even Better.
* Start Windows - Fanfare from Daddy's Gonna Pay.
* Critical Stop - Siren from the very end of Zooropa (sure to annoy everyone!)
* Question - Riff from Zooropa.
* Empty Recycle Bin - 'Squeaky clean' from Zooropa (for lack of anything better).

For those who are wondering about the LOGO?.SYS files, they are replacement startup and shutdown logos. I didn't make an installation program for these so if you want to use them, remember to backup the original files and copy LOGO.SYS to you root directory and LOGOS.SYS and LOGOW.SYS to your windows directory. They are some of the phrases from the video screens used during The Fly. The startup screen is animated.

SUPPORT

This theme is offered as freeware and that means you can distribute it, copy it, upload it, chew it up and spit on it as long as you don't charge anyone for it. If you have any difficulties, problems, questions or queries, feel free to email me at the address at the end of the document. 

As with all freeware, I take no responsibility for any problems that may arise from the use of this program. Don't get me wrong, it does what it is supposed to do, but if you come after me with a pack of hungry lawyers, remember, you've been warned!


THANKS

Thanks for trying out this theme and I hope you like it.
