Did you know that on the Abe's Oddysee CD-ROM (for the PC) there are some MS Plus! features you may use. An Abe's Theme is set up for you if you have MS Plus! installed, but you can still use them all even if you don't - if just means you have to take a little while to set it up! (It's not that hard and worth it if you really like Abe's Oddysee).
So what am I going on about? What's included on the CD?
Well, there is:
some Abe's icons to use on your desktop for things like My Computer and the Recycle Bin plus others to associate with whatever you like (use the Slig, a Slog, Molluck, Abe, a Scrab or Elum)
Just look at the pictures below of the animated cursors - tell me that they aren't cool! :-)
The NORMAL cursor
The BUSY cursor
The WORKING cursor
The HELP cursor
This is what GT Interactive Software say about installing:
"INSTALLING THE DESKTOP THEME
If you have Microsoft Plus installed on your computer you can most easily use the Abe's Oddysee desktop theme. You can tell you have it installed by finding the "Desktop Themes" option in the Control Panel (Start Menu->Settings->Control Panel). If you have it, simply copy the files from the "Desktop Theme" directory on the Abe's Oddysee CDROM into the directory where your desktop themes are stored. This is almost always called "C:\Program Files\Plus!\Themes".
After you have copied the files there, you can load the Abe theme by selecting "Desktop Themes" option in the Control Panel (Start Menu->Settings->Control Panel). When the "Desktop Themes" dialog box appears, select the "Abe" theme from the dropdown list.
If you don't have Microsoft Plus, you must first copy the files from the "Desktop Theme" directory on the Abe's Oddysee CDROM into a directory on your computer. Then, you must individually load the cursors (Start Menu-> Settings->Control Panel->Mouse, then select the Pointers tab) corresponding to the names of the cursors, and the sounds (Start Menu->Settings-> Control Panel->Sounds) for each of the sound names. You can load the wallpaper by selecting
Start->Settings->Control Panel, then double clicking on Display to bring up the Display Properties dialog box. Choose the Background tab, then browse and select the "Abe rupture farms"
bitmap."
If you have the PSX version, you don't get this cool feature - so GET OVER IT!
No, just kidding! I have included the stuff at this site for you and all your friends.
