Note: This theme is only for use with Windows 98 and
Active Desktop!
Since the release of Windows 98, I've been frustrated by the lack of
Active Desktop themes available. Most themes out there today are
designed for Windows 95, not 98. To relieve my frustration (and
have some fun) I've created the first ever Active Desktop VW Beetle
Theme!
You must have Active Desktop enabled to use this theme.
The background contains an Active X control (from Microsoft's
excellent CarPoint site) that lets you view the interior of the new
Beetle by spinning, rotating, and zooming in (Shift) and out (Ctrl)!
If this cool feature doesn't show up on your desktop after you install
the theme, I suggest you visit CarPoint (http://carpoint.msn.com) so
that IE4 can install the neccessary component.
This desktop was designed to be viewed with a screen resolution of
1024x768 (in HiColor mode). Your mileage may vary in other video
modes.
Installation should be straightforward, just let WinZip expand it
to your C: drive (leave "Use Folder Names" checked in the Extract
dialog). The theme should install to the directory:
C:\Program Files\Plus!\Themes\Jetta 99 Theme
I've also included 2 fonts used by the theme (MS Trebuchet and
Kabel), so put these in your C:\Windows\Fonts folder.
Enjoy the theme!

Notes:
----------------------------
Some of the cursors/icons/sounds were supplied by Microsoft's Route98 theme.
Other cursors were supplied by the "Blue Glow" cursor pack.
I am not affilated with Volkswagen or Microsoft in any way. I created
this theme for 2 reasons:
1) I think the VW Jetta is cool.
2) I think Win98/Active desktop is cool.
