Author: b0se
Contact: r.harvey@uea.ac.uk

Download more great themes from KoL's website, [link].

- Jace: Beta testing!

- digitaljames: Author of the excellent AppleGold (PantherPro) background.
- rjohnstone: Object Desktop
- Naughty Dogg: Yz Dock themes
About:
- 4 colour variations, Puma, Professional, Snow and Gun Metal
- Each colour has its own:
- Shellstyle
- MobyDock
- Yz Dock
- Object Desktop Dock
- 5 Wallpapers to suit all themes (I only added the shadow)
- OSX4XP Cursor set
Recommendations:
- Extract zip contents to '\Windows\Resources\Themes', using folder names.
- Make sure you select the desired theme via Display Properties -> Themes.
This will automatically load the matching wallpaper and cursor set. Handy
- Use Classic view for explorer windows - no shellstyle
(Tools -> Folder Options -> [Check] Use Windows Classic folders)
- Use the BLACK cursor scheme
(Control Panel -> Mouse -> Pointers [Combo] Scheme: Windows Black)
- Large icons
- Install fonts
(drag them from '\Windows\Resources\Themes\Puma\fonts' into your '\Windows\Fonts' directory)
- Use Mac-like font smoothing (much nicer on the eye)
(Display Properties -> Appearance -> Effects -> [Tick] Use the following....screen fonts
-> [Combo] ClearType)
- Use large icons
(Display Properties -> Appearance -> Effects -> [Tick] Use Large Icons)
- Extract the MobyDock skin folders into
(copy and paste folders under '\Windows\Resources\Themes\Puma\MobyDock ' into your '\Program Files\MobyDock\dockconfig\Skins' directory)
IMPORTANT: Known Issues:
- When using 'No Border' styles, caption bars on dialog boxes (e.g. Display Settings panel) are
1 pixel too short either side. This does not happen on explorer windows (which is what you view
99% of the time - hence no real problem). Why this happens os beyond me (atm, anyway).
- When you select the desired theme via Display -> Themes, the Link Select cursor (the Hand)
will not load. This is apparent in all themes and has to be loaded manually via
Control Panel -> Mouse -> Pointers. Select Link Select (at bottom of list), change and point
to '\Windows\Resources\Themes\Puma\OSX4XP\L ink Select.cur'
- Sometimes when appying a theme, e.g. [Puma] Pro No Border (by far the best!), the shadow on
the wallpaper is far too large. Simply right click on the taskbar and select Lock / Unlock taskbar
and it will sort itself out.
