The Highlander Watcher Theme Icon and Cursor Set
================================================

OK, first admission, this isn't a full theme for Windows 95.  So what is it?
It's a set of desktop icons and cursors.  The icons and animated cursors use 
the Watcher symbol from "Highlander - The Television Series" and the static 
cursors are a fairly standard set, but using the blues and greens of the Clan 
MacLeod tartan as seen in the series.

The cursors can be installed by anyone with Windows 95, but the desktop icons
require the Windows 95 Plus! software.  Great idea, develop an operating 
system and then charge extra for the fun bits..............

A Windows 95 theme provides a Screen Saver, desktop wallpaper and sound set 
as well.  I can't provide a screen saver, currently, but there are a large 
number of 640x480 JPGs available from my Highlander website at 
http://homepages.enterprise.net/edmonds/highlander.html and I would be loath 
to pick just one - go see and pick your own wallpaper.  I change the Episode 
of the Week page weekly, (there's a surprise!), and there are always 12 full 
size images to pick from and I have a monthly Calendar as well.  As for 
sounds - there are so many good ones on the Web already that I'm not going to
presume to compete.

How to do it
============

I would suggest printing this file out for ease of reference.

First, download the file containing the icons and cursors.  There are two 
files available - a .ZIP file (7KB) or, for those who do not have the ability 
to UnZip files, a self-extracting .EXE file 29K in size.  The .EXE will self 
extract into your C:\Windows\Temp directory.  I would suggest creating a 
directory to house the 17 icons and cursors and copying them into it.  That 
way, you can easily delete them once the novelty has worn off.  

1.  Setting Up The Cursors
--------------------------

Go to the CONTROL PANEL and click on the MOUSE Icon.  Click on the POINTERS 
tab.  For each cursor, click on the cursor you want to change, then click 
BROWSE.. and point into the directory where you have unpacked the cursors.  
Click on the replacement cursor and that's all there is to it.  When you've 
finished picking the ones you want, you can save them as a SCHEME, using the 
Save As... option.  Click on OK and that's half the job done.  Below is the 
list of cursor file names against the descriptions:

File Name		Windows Name
---------		------------

HL wait.ani		Working In Background
HL busy.ani		Busy
HL arrow.cur		Normal Select
HL beam.cur		Text Select
HL cross.cur		Precision Select
HL help.cur		Help Select

HL pen.cur		Handwriting
HL Size NESW.cur	Diagonal Resize 2
HL Size NS.cur		Vertical Resize
HL Size NWSE.cur	Diagonal Resize 1
HL Size WE.cur		Horizontal Resize
HL up.cur		Alternate Select

2. Setting Up The Icons
-----------------------

From the CONTROL PANEL, click on the DISPLAY Icon, then click on the PLUS! 
tab.  Select the Icon you want to change, then click on BROWSE.. and go to 
the directory where you have unpacked everything.  Pick the right icon, 
(sorry, no Network Neighbourhood), then once you've changed 'em all, click on
OK.

And that's it.  Hope you like the "theme".
