Desktop themes are another great way to enhance your
desktop. Desktop themes normally include a wallpapers, icons (My Computer,
Network Neighborhood, & recycle bin full and empty), sounds, and
cursors. Some also include a screensaver, startup/shutdown screens, Web
Views, and more.
First of all you will need a desktop theme
program such as MS Plus! Desktop themes, desktop
architect, etc., and a zip
utility such as WinZip for about 90% of the themes listed on this site to make use of the
desktop themes.
Now you are ready to apply one of your Desktop themes
that you downloaded.
- Now you will
need to open up your zip utility and open the zip file you downloaded
- First look to
the right of the files is the path set already?
- If so, then just extract the files
to C:\ (C:\ being your hard drive if your hard drive is named
differently put in the hard drive name)
- If not then extract them into a new
folder in C:\program files\Plus!\themes\
- Now open up
your desktop theme program (if you are using MS Plus! desktop themes,
the one that comes with Win98) then you can open it by clicking Start,
point to Settings, click Control Panel, and then double-click Desktop
Themes.
- In the Desktop
Themes dialog box, click on the title of the new theme you downloaded, and then click
OK. **You may need to choose other if you extracted into a separate
folder and browse to the .theme file click open and then click
OK.
