Thief Desktop Theme v1.2 for Windows 98
readme file, 14.2.1999
0. General description
This Windows 98 desktop theme attempts to capture some of the
atmosphere and feel of the Looking Glass game "Thief - The Dark
Project" on your desktop.
Includes desktop wallpaper, sound events, mouse pointers, icons and
colors. Font names and styles and font and window sizes have been
left at windows defaults. This theme does not include a screensaver.
This package (tht_s12.zip) is a stripped down version of the Thief
v1.2 desktop theme. The full package (tht_f12.zip) includes a longer
startup wav in full 16-bit stereo, the wallpaper in bmp format, 5
additional wallpapers in jpg format and lots of additional wavs.
tht_f11.zip totals over 9 megabytes. If you would like to have the
full package, email me at jpleppan@cc.hut.fi.
1. Installation
Extract all files into your "Plus!\Themes" directory with "use
folder names" checked (in winzip). After extraction there should be
a new theme, "Thief v1.2", in the Desktop Themes -list.
2. Resolutions & bit depths
This theme was designed for 1024x768x32 desktop and has not been
tested on any other resolutions or bit depths. Lower resolutions
will work, but the wallpaper is 1024x768, so if you use a lower
resolution, I recommend you change the wallpaper size to match your
desktop resolution with an image editing program such as Photoshop.
Without getting into too much detail I'll just mention here that
when windows up/downscales wallpapers to match screen resolution, it
does it the easy way and the result is not always very nice. This
theme should work on a 16-bit desktop, but 8-bit desktop probably
won't look too good even if it works.
