Phantasmagoria related sights and sounds as well as written

B)  Installation:


i)    Unless you are willing to install and use the Theme's 
components separately, you will need a copy of Microsoft Plus!

ii)   Please extract the files using the inbuilt self-extractor
(preferable), or the 32-bit version of WinZip (obtainable from
http://www.winzip.com/).  Failure to do this may result in the
destruction of the long filenames which will render this Theme
useless.

iii)  It helps to know the location of your Themes folder in 
advance.  If you followed the installation defaults, it will be:
C:\Program Files\Plus!\Themes

iv)   To change to the Phantasmagoria Desktop Theme, go to the
Windows 95 Control Panel and open the Desktop Themes applet.  
Select Phantasmagoria (high color) as your Theme, then click 
on Apply.  Note that this Theme is optimised for a 64,000 
(16-bit) color display despite the fact that none of its 
components contain more than 256 colours.  It is advisable 
to save your Current Windows Settings first so that you may 
return to them easily if desired.  

v)    For the screen saver component to work properly, move
Phantas.ttf from your Themes folder to your \Windows\Fonts 
folder.  Open that folder to install the font.  Finally, add
the following section to the Control.ini file located in your 
Windows folder.

[Screen Saver.Marquee]
Text=Phantasmagoria - pray it's only a nightmare....
Font=BlackChancery
Size=72
BackgroundColor=0 0 0
TextColor=255 0 0
Speed=27
Attributes=00011
CharSet=0

Naturally, the text may be modified to display whatever message
you want.

vi)   Experiment with tasks such as entering and exiting Windows
and emptying the Recycle Bin to ensure everything is working 
properly.

vii)  All Phantasmagoria Theme components are distinctively named.
To change any of them, simply rename a file of your own to a
name that matches an existing Phantasmagoria Theme component and
copy it into your Themes folder.  You may then need to go back
to the Control Panel to reapply the Phantasmagoria (high color)
Theme.




C)  Removal:
 

i)    Delete all the files whose names begin with the word 
"Phantasmagoria" that you can find in your Themes folder.

ii)   Also in your Themes folder, delete Phantas.ttf (if present), 
as well as File_id.diz and Phreadme.txt.

iii)  Remove the [Screen Saver.Marquee] section from your 
Control.ini file.

iv)   Return to the Desktop Themes Control Panel applet and make
another choice.




D)  Additional information:


i)    All sounds were taken directly from the game.

ii)   Wallpaper is based on a Phantasmagoria promotional screenshot 
from Sierra On-Line.

iii)  Icons are based on my own screenshots.

iv)   Cursors were collected from various freeware sources.
