It's a small and unpretentious FAQ but I hope it will prove to be helpful. And don't hesitate to contact me if your question hasn't been covered!

A: A desktop theme is a set including, as a minimum, wallpaper(s), icons, cursors, often sounds, web views, startup/wait/shutdown logos and a .THEME file storing the theme settings. It's NOT a program thus it CANNOT harm your computer in any way. The worst thing that's likely to happen in case some theme components are damaged is that they won't be applied at all and will be reset to the defaults.

A: There is nothing to install. The file you downloaded is a self-extractor that merely puts all the theme components into the proper folders. After running the downloaded file you have to apply the theme to use it on your computer. Your theme manager should automatically be launched when the theme installation is complete. If it doesn't, launch it manually, select the freshly installed theme and apply it.

A: Open Desktop Architect and click the Settings tab. Now just uncheck the theme elements you don't want to use. Then apply the theme as usual.

A: Select the theme in your theme manager (e.g. Desktop Architect) and click Uninstall. All the theme components will be moved to the Recycle Bin.

Attention!
If you're about to uninstall a theme that uses any external compponents, e.g. Wait cursor from another theme, this cursor will also be moved to the Recycle Bin! Of course you can go and restore it but you'd better remove such themes manually. It's quite easy, just delete the .THEME file and the folder with the same name from your themes directory, usually /Program Files/Plus!/Themes/. This way nothing will be lost. :)

Most themes by Blue Cat's Graphics are packaged with a professional installer and can safely be uninstalled through Control Panel - Add/Remove Programs.

A: If you need smaller wallpaper, it's as simple as a cat's tail. Backup the original wallpaper, just for the case something goes wrong (! Tip: The easiest way to do it is to hold down CTRL and drag the wallpaper file a little - you'll get a new file called "copy of wallpaper_name"). Open the wallpaper in your favorite graphic viewer/editor (if you don't have one, I suggest getting free Irfan View) and resize it, e.g. to 640x480. Then overwrite the original wallaper and reapply the theme.

If you need larger wallpaper, it's more sophisticated. By default, my themes are set to stretch wallpaper to fit the screen resolution but the results may be unpredictable and it's possible that you'll hate how the stretched wallpaper looks. In that case your best bet is to visit the site of a person who created the wallpaper in question. You can always find the corresponding link on the theme download page. It's possible that you'll get hi-rez wallpapers there. If not, as a last resort you may try to email the person to kindly ask him/her for a custom sized wallpaper. Who knows, maybe you'll get it after all :)
