Part 1 - Introduction
---------------------

Bugs! They are everywhere and they are so cute! 

These Desktop Themes are accompained by a fabulous program (IconPaX, 
by John Beckett) that changes various of your system icons into 
beautifull bugs (like the ones the theme itself provides). I do advise 
you to make use of this feature. If you don't like it, you can 
DESINSTALL it very easily.

There is a second option, if you have Microangelo (a very nice 
software that I think everyone should have). I've included a 
Microangelo motif that you can apply by using Microangelo Engennier.
This is a good option for those who preffer to select which shell
icons the program should change (an option not avaliable in IncoPaX).
It should be pointed out, though, that IconPaX offers much more
icons than the Microangelo motif.
Using Microangelo Engennier will also provide you an option to change
the red cursors included in the thema package to green ones (which
would fit best with Bugs! 2.

Your display should be set to 800x600 and true color for Bugs! theme. 
Do not stretch the wallpaper. If you don't use the 800x600 display,
you may want to use the second theme in the package: Bugs! 2.

Last, but not least: the icons included in this package are the
original artwork by Nick Day. The screensaver was made by Frank Chen.

Part 2 - Theme Installation
---------------------

To install this theme:

1. Run a decompression program like WinZip
2. Unzip all the files into your Theme file directory 
   (usually c:\program files\plus!\themes)    
3. Run Microsoft Plus! or any other theme file installer and 
   select 'Other' from the theme selection box.
4. Load the theme file that you just unzipped
5. To install the SCREENSAVER, just move it into your WINDOWS folder.
6. Enjoy!

***IMPORTANT NOTE***	
The *.ttf files (the font files) will not be automatically placed
in the correct location.  You must cut and paste them into the 
"Windows\Fonts" folder yourself BEFORE installing the theme.  


Part 2 - Troubleshooting
-------------------------

Common problems and fixes

If errors are encountered while installing the  theme
  - Make sure you used a long file name - compatible uncompression 
    program like WinZip to unzip the theme
  - Check that all the correct directories have been made
  - Make sure that you have Microsoft Plus! or another theme file 
    installer installed. The theme file will not install automatically
    as soon as you unzip it!


Part 3 - Bugs vs Insects (by Vicky Latz)


Are you bugged by bugs?
Just what is a bug, anyway?

Some of us call any tiny, crawly thing a "bug." A spider might be 
a "bug," a butterfly might be a "bug," a mommy might call her baby 
a "cute little bug." Even the germs that make us sick are "bugs" 
and problems in computer programs are "bugs!"

Does the word "bug" have a special scientific meaning? Yes! There 
is one group of insects known to scientists as "bugs."

So how does something get to be called a true bug? First, of course, 
it has to be an insect. That means it has six legs and three body 
parts (a spider, remember, has eight legs and two body parts, so it 
can't be a true bug). Then, it has to be a certain type of insect. 
It must have a sharp mouth for poking a hole in its food to suck the 
juice. Butterflies and house flies can suck their food, but they 
cannot poke holes in things.

A true bug also has special wings. When the bug is resting, you 
will see only one pair of wings covering the bug's back. Near the 
head, these wings are thick and protective, but near the tail they 
are thin, just like the wings hidden underneath. (Just to make 
things tricky, some insects are called true bugs even though their 
wings are different. And some true bugs don't have wings at all!)

True bugs also grow differently from some other insects. Does a baby 
butterfly look like an adult butterfly? No! A baby butterfly is a 
caterpillar. The caterpillar has to change completely to become an 
adult butterfly. True bugs are different. A baby true bug looks like 
a small version of the adult true bug, but it doesn't have its wings 
yet. When insects grow this way, scientists call it "simple 
metamorphosis." The insects that change completely from baby to 
adult, such as butterflies and beetles, go through "complete 
metamorphosis." 

True bugs are in the order Hemiptera. An order is a type of 
scientific grouping. The name of the order, "Hemiptera," means 
"half wing" to describe the wing that is half thick and half thin.

So which of the things we fondly call bugs are actually true bugs? 
Stink bugs, bed bugs, giant water bugs and milkweed bugs are just 
some of the true bugs.
