 Hello people of planet earth,


 Tired of those silly unpractical Windows-(Color)schemes
 you can't really work with?  I hereby present you:

 - One of the  Appearance Colorschemes  I have designed
   ( hey, it's really some fine piece of work I kid you not ! )
 - 2 homemade Fonts I use for my Windows-system/desktop,
   1 PD "FON"-file which I think is ideal for icon-texts and URL-bar.
 - The funny Cursor-files I currently still use.
 - Button-background I created to go with the scheme ( for I.E. )
 - Some good settings that go with it.


 WANNA ADD THE COLOR-SCHEME TO YOUR WINDOWS ?
 ============================================
 ( all this is a completely harmless activity )


 - Double-click on the file named  1_COLORS.REG
   and enter the scheme in your registry. It simply adds data
   to your registry, it does NOT damage or alter anything.

   Note that the color-scheme is intended for High color (16 bit)
   screensetting, and True color (24 bit or 32 bit) is recommended.

   You can make the colorscheme Active by restarting Windows,
   or by applying it in the Screen > Properties > Appearance dialog.
   Now you may delete all the other schemes you had left.  ;-)



 HOW TO GET THE FONT-SCHEME AND WINDOW-METRICS IN YOUR SCREEN ?
 ==============================================================


   These settings are OK for use on 15 to 19 inch monitors
   using a Screen-area of 800 by 600 pixels (or higher).

 - Install the fonts  Eprejek-J   ImmortalSys  and  VT100
   the same way you would normally install fontfiles.
   They are in the  \Dataset\  folder that came with this file.

 - Double-click on the file  2_DTMETR.REG
   and enter the scheme in your registry. 



 The scheme has grown on me a lot. I even take it with me
 (or download it) when I get to install Windows somewhere
 or when I have to work on somebody else's machine..
 Maybe someday I'll create a whole "desktop theme" out of it,
 but this way  even users that don't want MS-Plus Theme-support
 can still have this cake and eat it too...


 I also added an extra Black&White Greyscale scheme for
 8 bit-output, which I designed for use at the serverside
 with WinVNC ( https://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/ )


- About the INTERNET EXPLORER TOOLBAR
  background image ( IEbg.bmp ) :

  The file IEBG.reg has this entry :
  "BackBitmap"="C:\\Windows\\IEbg.bmp"

  Now in this example the file IEbg.bmp should reside
  (be copied to) the folder C:\Windows\

  Change this entry of you want it in another folder
  and after that simply double-click on IEBG.reg
  to enter this in your registry.

 They can't possibly damage anything, and
 if they do it must be your own damn fault. Sue me.

 Happy happy joy joy,

 Nothing to worry about.
 You probably didn't install the fonts yet.

 First try installing the fonts that came with my zip
 the way you would normally install fonts
 ( startmenu > setttings > controlpanel > fonts > filemenu )
 and re-start Windows. If you don't like them
 the way they are change your display > appearance > scheme
 back to Windows standard (or whatever scheme you want)
 or change the font menu-settings to whatever you like more..

 Good luck!
