TI-99/4A Desktop Theme V4.0

Updated 6/10/99 (V4.0). Thanks again to Cyber Taco for more improvements! Most recent changes:

* Renamed icons to more meaningful names.
* Changed "Program Crash" sound from Alert to Uh-Oh! (I just had to ;-) ).
* Set Ringin and Ringout sounds to standard Windoze ding sound.

Cyber Taco updated made with version 3.0:
* Implemented the fixes that applied to the last file.
* Rigged most of the files to go into a subdirectory of the Themes directory, so they can stay seperate from the general mish-mash usually seen in a person's themes directory. Only the .theme file goes directly in the themes directory, the rest goes into Themes\TI-994A.
* Changed the default window color from bright white to light grey, to reduce eyestrain.
* Changed the screen saver from none to Flying Through Space.
* Changed the good TI beep from being the Menu Popup sound to being the Menu Command sound.
* Set the cursors to go with it to a pleasant 3D look with animated hourglasses.
* Removed long file names on files that fit the Dos 8.3 format anyway.
* Packaged the theme into a self-extracting zip. The theme selector runs after unzipping the files, with the TI theme sitting in the preview window.
* Changed the icon in the self-extractor from the default ZipMagic one to a cool little TI icon.

Updated 2/24/99 (V2.0). Thanks to the assistance of Curt Raymond, the icons have been changed so that their backgrounds are now transparent.

Several of the WAV files have a 'hollow' sound to them- this is the result of some problems that I've been having with some of my software. I hope to change this if I get the problem fixed or someone is willing to donate some TI WAV sounds.

If you can help with this problem, please contact me at webmaster@99er.net.

I plan make improved versions of this theme. If you're interested, subscribe to my newsletter- I'll make mention of it there when I do.
