FreeTheme v0.5 (21/01-1997)


FreeTheme is a FreeWare Theme loader for Windows95. With this program installed
you can load Themes WITHOUT the MS Plus! package. This way you'll be able to
enjoy themes even if your employer doesn't think MS Plus! can be a vital part
of your workplace :-)


How to install/first time installation:
---------------------------------------
1. Run setup to install program (if you're upgrading with setup you have to uninstall
   the old version first

2. Create a theme catalog

3. Download some themes and unpack the files to the above theme catalog

4. When you run the program for the first time type the Themepath at the prompt.

5. Select a theme

6. You'll have to reboot the computer for all the changes to be effectuated
   


How to upgrade:
---------------
1.	Uninstall the old version
2. 	Run setup for the new version as above	



Change history:

I know issues(and I might look into them at some time:-)
--------------------------------------------------------
1. FreeTheme uses the external DOS program DJPEG for converting Jpeg to BMP. This
   program will not allways exit, and you'll have to close it yourself. You may try
   to select proporties on the program(when started) and select "Exit on close" and
   run "minimized" That may not be the correct labels (I cannot check, I'm currently
   running a Danish version of Windows95)

2. Will not load fonts & metrics
