Macintosh Windoz 95 Plus! Theme
created by Michael Guidry & The E (Jason E. Dustin)

So, you always wanted a Mac which is why you started drooling 
when you saw Windoz 95 for the first time.  Well, we have news for you, 
Windoz 95 can look even more like a Mac.  
We have created the Macintosh Theme for Windoz 95.  
This can only be used if you have Micro$oft Plus installed on your system.

Theme features include:
-Macintosh busy clock, pointer, trash icons, hard & floppy icons.
-All Mac sounds, including ROM startup (hummmm...) sound.
-Mac desktop background.
-Mac fonts.
-Mac startup and shutdown screens.

Here are the steps you need to take to get this theme off right.  
I will assume win95 is installed under "c:\windows".  
You may have to adjust the instructions if this is not your settings.

1.  Since you are reading this you must have already unzipped this
 "Mac95Theme" zip file.  Hopefully you unzipped all the files into an
empty directory.  If not, unzip the "Mac95Theme" zip file in an empty directory.  
Name it "Mac".  
 
2.  Put this directory in the "Themes" folder which should be under the 
directory "Plus!" (ie. C:\program files\Plus!\Themes\).

3.  Now take the files Geneva & Chicago and put them in the directory 
c:\windows\fonts

4.  Next rename the file c:\logo.sys to c:\winlogo.sys
rename c:\windows\logow.sys to c:\windows\winlogow.sys
rename c:\windows\logos.sys to c:\windows\winlogos.sys

5.  Now look in the "Mac" directory and move the file "logo.sys" to 
the "c:\" directory.  Now move the files logos.sys & logow.sys 
to the "c:\windows" directory.

We're almost finished, don't give up yet!

6.  Go in "My computer" and take the "c:\" drive and bring it to the desktop
 to create a shortcut.  Do the same for the floppy drive "a:\".   
Go to the c:\ drive shortcut you put on your desktop and right click the mouse 
and choose properties.  Then click the tab "shortcut", then click "change icon" 
and browse into the Mac directory.  Then choose the icon "Macintosh HD".  
Follow the same instructions for the Floppy icon except choose the icon 
"Floppy Drive".
NOTE:  You can change "Recycle Bin" to "Trash" by using RegEdit (c:\windows\regedit)
Simply start RegEdit and go to "Edit".  Do "Find" and use "Recycle Bin".  Right click
the icon and choose modify.  Rename it "Trash".  Now hit F3 to find other entries and
edit them also.  There should be about 2 of "Recycle Bin".

7.  Now arrange your desktop like a Mac (This is the easy part!):
________________________________________________________
|							|
|  My computer				Macintosh HD	|
|							|
|					Floppy Drive	|
|							|
|							|
|							|

|							| 		
|							| 
|							|
|						Trash	|
---------------------------------------------------------

8.  Make a Control Panel in your start menu (like a Mac).  Go into Start, Settings, Taskbar.
Hit the tab "Start Menu items", then click "Advanced".  Now right click the mouse
and make a new folder and call it "Control Panel".  Double click in it, it should be empty.
Now leave that area for now & go in "My Computer", then "Control Panel".  Select all of
the icons or just the ones you use most frequently and then move them to the new folder
"Control Panel".  Now in the start menu you should have a new Control Panel that is much
faster than the original!

9.  This is the final step!  Go into the control panel and go in desktop themes.
Then click on the theme menu and go all the way down to other.  Pick it.  Now
browse to the theme Mac95 which should be in the Mac folder.  Under settings have
all of them checked (no need to check screensaver though, did not include one with
this theme).  Now hit "OK" and your Mac is ready!

Well, I hope you like the theme, we worked hard on it.  
Consider this a tribute to a dying OS which could and should have 
been the home OS standard.  Take care.

Notes:

1.  Startup and shutdown screens are pixelated because of the win95
resizing effect.  Unfornately, this is unavoidable.
