05/29/97

Free for registered users of version 1.0 (use your current serial number of 1.0).

1. What a 3DShellArt  ver 1.10 is?

3DShellArt ver 1.10 is a set of 3D-looking, 256-colors and style uniform
icons intended to replace nearly all standart Microsoft Windows95/NT shell
and some file types icons.

This icons are real 3D new original artwork, while keeping look and feel
of Windows, so you will not face these "obtained" from Copland, BeOs, MacOs
and so on. I think if you are using Windows it must look as good as possible,
but it also must look like Windows.

Setup Wizard included in this pack will install icons onto your system,
so no additional tools are needed.
To fine tune your shell icons I advise to download "More Properties 2.0"
from Download.com category "Utilities/System Utitlities" (around page 7) or
directly from:

http://home.global.co.za/~olivierd/imaginary/more20.zip

It's free and work fine on 95/NT.

Upon registration you'll find 40+ icons in bonus.

2. Installation and Removing.

Installation.

Run ShellArt.exe setup utility and Setup Wizard will guide you throught
the rest of installation procedure. Please note: Complete installation 
will require to restart your computer.  

To look into icon libraryes installed you may use Microangelo, MS Plus, etc.
or Shortcat mechanics builded into Windows95. ShellArt.icl, Bonus.icl and Tools.icl
will be placed under "Program Files\3D ShellArt" on your hard disk.

Removing.

Select "Add/Remove Programs" from your Settings (Control Panel) folder and select
"3DShellArt" to uninstall the software.


3. Demo and Registartion.

3DShellArt ver 1.0 is shareware. It means you have to register it to see its full
advantages. This pack includes all staff needed to register and unlock itself,
no additional downloads required, but without serial number it will operate as demo.

In demo mode you'll see all icons with small red "R!" sign in a corner. Also Bonus and
Tools icon library will contain only few icons with above resrictions.
Registration will removes this restrictions and gives you new 40+ icons in Bonus and
Tools libraryes.

Follow instruction in Register dialog and it make all the job to request  for you serial

4. Known problems.

   1. 3DShellArt uninstall wizard can't restore any customisation you may have done
      with Microsoft Plus or another tool to your shell icons. 
      After removing 3DShellArt you may have to redo this manually.

   2. In some cases 3DShellArt uninstall wizard will not remove folder
      "Program Files\3DShellArt" from your hard disk. After removing 3DShellArt you may
      have to remove this folder manually.

   3. In some cases on WindowsNT 4.0 after registration you may still see "R!" on icons.
      To clear, rebuild icon cache with "More Properties 2.0".
