	If you have ever feel that Windows 95's look was close to Macintosh's
perhaps this "theme" can help you to complete de illusion. If you usually
work with Macs, this tool can make Windows 95's graphic environment nicer
and more familiar to you.

It is a set of icons, cursors, animated icons and sounds simulating the
graphical look of the Macintosh computers. It´s not my invention,
everything is directly taken from MacOS 7.5 operating system. The wallpaper
and the icons have been directly captured form Mac's screens, later
retouched with several Windows tools to make then suitable to this OS.
Sounds have been converted using a Macintosh's sound editor right from
mac's format to Windows' wave format. Only the cursors and animated icons
have been manually made using patterns from Macs and Windows 95.

All the icons and cursors were converted to Windows' 16 color basic palette
to make them suitable for most screen combinations: in a 640x480 screen with
16 colors as in an 800x600 Hi-color screen they look perfect, if I can say
it ;-)

*** Instalation ***

	I feel very lazy like doing a Windows theme automatic installation
script, but I have plans O;-)
So you'll have to do a manual installation following these steps:

1. Copy all the Animated Icons (.ani) and the cursors (.cur) to
   \windows\cursors directory. Open the Control Panel->Mouse->Pointers and
   select the cursors you wish.

2. Copy MACICONS.DLL library (it's a library which includes all the icons
   (.ico) for better convenience) to \windows\system directory and modify
   the shortcuts icons you like (for instance, shortcuts to floppy(s) or
   hard disk(s) you have on the desktop). To change the recycled bin icons
   you need to have MSPLUS! installed in your system; go to Control Panel->
   Screen->Plus! to do it. Well, it can be manually done without MSPLUS!
   editing the Windows 95's registry.

3. Copy wallpapers (.bmp) to \windows directory and select them from
   Control Panel->Screen->Wallpaper and choose mosaic option. The two
   wallpapers provied are equal but in 16 and 256 colors. Probably you won't
   notice any difference between them.

4. Copy all the sounds to \windows\media directory. To active sounds go to
   Control Panel->Sounds and set sounds you want to the events you choose.

Well, in fact you can copy the files wherever you want, for instance, to
\Program files\Plus!\Themes directory. It's only an idea to distribute them
in the previous indicated form.

As you can see there are not fixed rules. Change whatever you want wherever
you want and however you like.

An advice: Set the Start Bar at the top of the screen and choose Autohide
option. Put shortcuts to your floppys, hard disks and CD-ROM on the desktop,
it´s easier and helps to complete the illusion. Last, add the Control Panel
to the start menu as a drop down menu (this makes the start menu more like
Mac's apple menu), do the following to get it:

  1. Click Start button with the mouse's right button.
  2. Choose Explore option from the menu.
  3. Place the cursor wherever in the Explorer's right screen and press the
     mouse's right button.
  4. Choose New->Folder option.
  5. Assign this name to the folder, type it exactly:

	Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}

You can do the same with printers, dial up net and the handcase:

	Printers.{2227A280-3AEA-1069-A2DE-08002B30309D}
	Dial Up Net.{992CFFA0-F557-101A-88EC-00DD010CCC48}
	Handcase.{85BBD920-42A0-1069-A2E4-08002B30309D}

*** Conditions of use ***

	Simply, there aren't conditions of use :-) This utility is
absolutely free, at least in what may concern to me. As you can understand
nothing of what's included here belongs to me, i just has compiled it and
gave others the chance to use some visual properties and sounds from the
operating system of Apple's Macintosh.

*** How to contact me ***
