Themes and Screen Saver |
Thanks to my good friend Aaron (proprietor of Disney ClipArt and other fine WebSites) who
managed to play with the files and trim these suckers down considerably. Each theme is now
under three megs - an easily accomplished download for just about anyone.
As promised, it's finally here!!! Now you can completely Jungle
Cruise-ify your Windows95 and even Windows98
computers (sorry, Mac users) annoy your family and friends, and re-live
those glorious days of Skippering. It's easy! Well, okay, it's accomplishable. Well...oh,
just pay attention to the directions and you'll be fine!
Themes
What you need:
- A Computer.
- Windows95 or Windows98 (I
checked - it works on both)
- WinZip (highly recommended and available here) or similar unzipping software.
- Microsoft Plus! for your operating system or
- A similar desktop theme program such as the aptly-named Desktop
Themes from Left Side Software available here.
- One of the following two hand-created-by-yours-truly .zip
files:
For those of you who would enjoy the Disneyland Version,
choose "dljungle.zip."
For those of you who would like a Walt Disney World Version,
choose "wdwjungl.zip."
If you'd like our Neighbor's Pirates of the Carribean theme,
choose "pirates11.zip." Special Thanks to Dan
Ireland for letting us post this one here.
Here comes the hard part:
- When you click on one of those two links, your friendly
computer will ask you if you wish to save the file or open it from its location. Please
choose 'Save this file to disk' and click 'OK' (Netscape
users - when you click, simply choose 'Save File' from the four
selections).
- Then your computer will ask you where to save the file. Desktop
is always a nice choice, because the file is easy to find after closing the browser. This
is often the default. If not, you may click on the top window of
the download dialog box (English, Doc, English!) and use your up
arrow key to choose it. Then click Save.
- Now make yourself a cup of coffee, a sandwich, or similar
refreshment. Even though these new and improved themes are only two and
one-half megabytes in size, they still may take a while to download, especially
if you still run a 28.8 or (Heaven forbid) a 14.4 modem. See you in a few.
- Still waiting.
- Okay. Now close the browser (you may want to print this page
first if you feel you need to).
- Find the file you downloaded (dljungle.zip or
wdwjungl.zip) and extract (unzip) it
into one of the following: c:\program files\plus!\themes if you have Microsoft
Plus! or c:\themes if you don't. Consult your unzipping software
for further instructions. If the computer asks you if you want to overwrite files, it
really doesn't matter which you pick, but Yes to all is easiest.
- Now open Windows Explorer and move the file zoom.scr
from c:\program files\plus!\themes or c:\themes to
c:\windows\system (this step is not actually all that important because we'll
replace that screen saver later. The Jungle Cruise Screen Saver doesn't theme well because
it needs to be installed separately, which is why is isn't included in the .zip
file).
- If you have performed these delicate operations precisely, you
should now be able to go to the Control Panel or your alternate Desktop
Theme program and choose the Jungle Cruise (or Pirates)
theme. Good luck!
Screen Saver
What you need:
Here comes the hard part:
- When you click on this link, your friendly computer will ask
you if you wish to save the file or open it from its location. Please choose 'Save
this file to disk' and click 'OK' (Netscape users - when you
click, simply choose 'Save File' from the four selections).

the download dialog box (English, Doc, English!) and use your up
arrow key to choose it. Then click Save.
- Now make yourself a cup of coffee, a sandwich, or similar
refreshment. Kick your shoes off. Get comfortable. Or, better yet, go do something
constructive. You see, this file is about six and one-quarter megabytes
in size. It will take a while to download, especially if you still run a 28.8 or (Heaven
forbid) a 14.4 modem. See you in a few.
- Still waiting.
- Yet still waiting.
- Okay. Now close the browser (you may want to print this page
first if you feel you need to).
- Find the file you downloaded and double click on it.
- That's it! (The screen saver is easier).
