====================================

Finally after months of hard work the Nightmare
Before Christmas theme is a reality. This is
only version 1 of several versions soon to
follow.

There is two different themes:

Nightmare8.zip	
Nightmare16.zip

The two themes are identical except
that the Nightmare8.zip file has 8bit sounds and
Nightmare16.zip has 16bit sounds. Of course this
makes the space used by the 16bit file much larger.
If you are pressed for space or download time use
the 8bit file.


-= USE =-

To use the themes, unzip the file with a Win95 compliant
unzip utility (such as winzip). Unzip the theme to your
themes directory (usually "c:\program files\plus!\themes").
Once the files are placed use the "desktop theme changer"
included in the plus! package to install the theme.
Currently there are no special cursors, startup screens,
shutdown screens, or a screen saver. If you want to change
your pointers to the windows default then select the mouse
pointers checkbox in the theme windows otherwise to keep your
current pointers make sure the mouse pointers check box is blank.

You will notice that there are three .theme files.  This is because
there are three different background images you may choose from.
The background is the only difference in the files.  Try them all
and decide which you like best!

Tim Burton's Nightmare font is included with the package but is
not installed in the theme. This is because some of the letters
are really hard to read. If you want to use the Nighmare font then
copy the font file to your font directory and it will be ready to 
use. You can set it through the display control panel under appearance.


-= FUTURE =-

Coming Soon:

- a screen saver
- startup and shutdown screens
- mouse pointers

Feel free to make any suggestions for future versions!
