| Billy Bear Storybook DeskTop Themes | PO Box 132 | Tipton, Michigan 49287 | http://www.billybear4kids.com | rrwauer@lni.net DESKTOP COLLECTIONS... ANIMATED CURSORS For Win95, Click on START - next, click on SETTINGS - then, click on CONTROL PANEL. When the screen comes up find MOUSE and click on it. Next click on POINTERS. Click on BROWSE to find where you saved the Animated Cursor you downloaded and click on it. When you are done click on APPLY and your Mouse should appear as your cursor. ICONS For Win95... To install the Icons - unzip the file. Next, look at your Computer's Desktop and decide which Icons you want to change. Click on the ICON with your "right" mouse button. Click on PROPERTIES, next click on SHORTCUT, then click on CHANGE ICON. When the screen comes up, click on BROWSE and select the icon you want to use, then click on OK. Some of us Win95 users can not change the standard Icons on our Desktop... such as the MY COMPUTER, MY BREIFCASE or the RECYCLE BIN by using the above instructions. To change these safely, you can use Microangelo's Engineer Program or Microsoft's Plus! program. For Window 3.1... Go to your Program Manager, then locate the icon that you would like to change. Click to select it, then in the FILE menu, select PROPERTIES. In the Program Item Properties window, click on CHANGE ICON... in the Change Icon, click on BROWSE... use the browse window to find your icon that you want to use (it has an .ico at the end of the file name). Once you have found the file, click on it once to highlight it, then click OK to return to the Program Item Properties window. Then click OK one more time. NOTE: When I was using Win3.1, I was only able to use 16 colors ... most of the icons that I've created are 256 or higher. If you are only able to use 16... these icons won't be very pretty on your desktop... if 256, most will look good. The Icons that you get from my site are in zip format... they all have the extention .ico and are ready to be used as your desktop's icons for the PC. WALLPAPER Win95... If you have a Netscape or Microsoft Internet Explorer browser... click on the picture you see here, with your "right" mouse button. Do you see the options on the lil' screen that popped up when you did that? You can set this picture up as your Wallpaper right now, just click on SET AS WALLPAPER, there it's done. This picture is now on your Desktop's Screen, take a look. ...now that is too cool! It is saved in your Windows directory as NETSCAPE.BMP. For Netscape 4.0 users, the wallpaper will set this way, but you have to go into your Control Panel. Click on START, then CONTROL PANEL, next click on DISPLAY... then go to your Wallpaper and set the wallpaper. If you need larger wallpaper than 640x480, here is a great program from Tropical Wares that will stretch the photo to the size of your screen. Not only does it allow you to stretch the photo ...You can program the wallpaper to change automatically. This program does a whole lot more... go check it out!!! If you like Microsoft's programs and don't own the Microsoft Plus program to stretch the photo to the size of your screen... visit Microsoft's site, and download their Font Smoother / Plus! pack W95GRAY.EXE... it's free! Windows 3.1... Click the right mouse button, when the lil' screen pops up select SAVE IMAGE AS. Save the file to your Windows directory. The Wallpaper you are saving from my site are either .gif or .jpg graphics formats... you may need to take this picture into a graphic editor and change the picture to a .bmp. To do this, open the wallpaper you saved... then select to SAVE... when you save the wallpaper, save it with the .bmp extention. Open your CONTROL PANEL, then your DESKTOP. Pull down the selection box under the WALLPAPER section and select the file you downloaded. Choose Tile or Center, and click OK. Macintosh... (I am not a MAC user, but was told that this is how you would set the desktop wallpaper) Click and hold your mouse over the photo you want. A little menu will pop up. Choose "Save This Image As," and save it to your desktop. Open the JPG in an image-viewing program and choose select all. Then choose copy from the edit menu. Next go under the apple menu and select Control Panels, then Desktop Patterns. Go under the Edit menu and select Paste. Click the Set Desktop Pattern button, and the wallpaper will appear on your desktop. MAC O/S 8.0... (received email with these instructions) Click on the image while holding down the mouse button choosing "save image as" saving it to your desktop. Then after opening the control panel DESKTOP PICTURES click remove picture, then click select picture, then go to where you have saved the image and select POSITION AUTOMATICALLY. SCREEN SAVERS Most, but not all desktop themes includes a Screen Saver... After you've downloaded and UNZIPped your Screen Saver(s), run the Self Extracting .exe file. This will install the Screen Saver to your Window's Directory. Some of the Screen Savers have sound included, if you don't wish to hear the sound, you can turn the sound off from your Window's Control Panel. You can use the password control which can be found in the Control Panel. To get to the Screen Saver setup, click on START, then click on SETTINGS, then CONTROL PANEL. Next click on DISPLAY, then SCREEN SAVER. To change your screen savers - For Win95 Go to your Window's Control Panel. Select Display, then click on Screen Saver. Near the middle (on the left side), select the screen saver you want to appear on your screen. This is also where you can change your Screen Saver Settings. For Win3.1... Open Desktop from the control panel(main group). Select "The Screen Saver you want" from the screen saver drop down menu. Because most screen savers use more than 256 colors, you may have problems running these screen savers. To Un-Install one of the screen savers found on this page, simply go to your WINDOWS directory, and delete the NAMEOFFILE.scr file. Our .zip file has the same name as the .scr file for each of our screen savers. The Registration for most of the DeskTop Themes are $5.00.
