Folks,

Here is a new theme pack for you to play around with, the "WinDoZe XP"
theme pack for Quadra <G>.

Directly from the included readme:

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
The theme pack consists of ten new background images created using a
wallpaper image from from Microsoft's "Windows XP" operating system
for the PC. The original wallpaper image was heavily edited using
Paint Shop Pro's "Clone Brush" tool to remove the "Microsoft Windows
XP" logo <G>, and then the "Colorize" tool was used to change the
overall color of them to create nine additional background images.

In addition, all of the tetrominoes for the game have been edited to
slightly "softer" colors, with the same set of tetrominoes used
throughout all ten levels. Two types of tetromino color schemes are
included, the original Quadra tetromino color scheme, as well as
tetrominoes that have been changed to Tetris "Guideline" colors.

Also included are new replacement sound effects for Quadra (created
from sound effects from one of Windows XP's sound schemes), and have
all been converted to stereo for a fuller and richer sound while
playing the game.

Lastly, the theme pack also includes a new mouse cursor, based on one
of Microsoft Windows's mouse cursor images.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-


@ Pierre and @ Stephane,

BTW, this theme pack is a recreation of the
"Weeds_Quadra_Skin_Test_1.gif" that I mentioned/linked to over in the
Quadra Developer forums... even though I didn't save the compiled
resources from that pic, I decided to go ahead (and start from
scratch) and create a complete theme based on it... complete with new
"stereofied" sound effects, splash screens, mouse cursor, and such.


@ 10 0-9,

Unlike my "Bejeweled 2 Deluxe" theme pack, along with the Tetris
"Guideline" colored tetrominoes (which are the ones that I like),
you'll be happy to find Quadra color-scheme tetrominoes in this pack
as well :)


Anyhow, here are the files:
