  hi2all, this is me - Lad Jack, and this is my (now probably your) theme for 
 Aston the shell replacer. i think thats enough for introduction, and sorry 
 for my english - i am ukrainian:)(proudly), dont stop...

-[3.Installation]---------------------|


  in fact, there is no problems, just unpak (extract) theme archive into your 
 themes directory (example: c:\Aston\Themes)...that is all, no,
 not absolutely, now you have to launch Theme Wizard and choose from list
 the logitech theme. Conceal breath...:)

>    everyone change accordingly the letter



  Knowing bugs:

  the wirst question - why logitech? i don't know, because i like it, simple
 huh:)
 lets start from the top of the screen:
 -the Exit button(btn) - if the speed of animation is not pleasant to you, 
  you can change it, in Exit btn property or in exit.ank file, which is placed
  in logitech->objects folder (like others animation & ank files in my theme),
  change it by playing with Interval variable value (less-more quickly,
  bigger-more slowly). by the way, this method is pretty good for changing 
  other objects animation speed.
  also when you close any window that may activate the button, but it does not 
  mean that the system will reboot. Simply there will pass animation and all.
 
 -the top central panel (not TopPanel plug-in) - as you can see there are only 
  three HDD btns (C, D, E) because it's good for me, and if it also is good
  for you - this is the best thing i ever want:) but if you really need another
  one - tell me (see Contacts chapter), but no more than three btns (F, G, H),
  i'll send ya. Check the letters, don't miss.

 -the TopPanel - i know, maybe the position of the plug-in's items are some 
  strange (as a whole there are eight item-folders in my version of TopPanel 
  plg, but you can see only four: graphics, soft, tools, audio-video) other 
  items were hidden by me that you casually didn't activate them when will 
  bring the mouse to the top central panel (my comp, or others). 
  Also you may have problems with pressing each menu's item, but i have already 
  got used, but the main thing - i like it. And grouping all soft in four 
  section - it's also good for me, i hope i have guessed for you ;)

 -the Wallpaper - it my own work (i've finished art school), and i've given it 
  Rozha name :) it's no good (a-a-a Depeche Mod - rulezzzz, khm i'm sorry) 
  to use it in other themes, just look on it in your image viewer. All music
  bands and dj's, and other stuffs on the picture - things were in my mind
  while was i working on theme.  

 -left toolbar - all seems to be as normal, it works:)

 -right toolbar - it's turned off by me, because i don't need it, but i made
  skin for him and you can turn it on as quickly as you wish.

 -TaskBar - there are no things which it's necessary to explain.

 -in whole, as you can see there are no icons (in main menu, top panel, on the
  desktop) you know...i like it to:) but i've put some icons to icon's folder,
  and you may use it to your wish.

 !alert icons are not my artwork it's Kazuyuki Fujisawa's work and 
 Paul Boyer's work (BIG thnx to them for it) and iuse it in my theme!  
 
 that is all (i think) i wanted to tell you about our:) theme, if you have
 any questions - mail me (see below), i'll try to reply and help...
