Re: Is there a SEIV windows XP theme ?
CW - the file is only 8 kb. Theme files just tell Windows where to look to find the sounds, wallpaper, cursors, etc.
This theme file I made assumes that...
1) Your SEIV directory is C:\Program Files\Shrapnel Games\Malfador Machinations\Space Empires IV Gold
2) You have installed the SEIV fonts into your main Windows font folder
The theme will take your SEIV active intro screen, cursors, sounds, etc - and build the theme from them.
AT - Yes, Fy=Fyron
EDIT - this is very much a beta Version - so if it does go public, don't be surprised if you want to tweak it a bit...

Re: Is there a SEIV windows XP theme ?
Alright I got it. First Thing I noticed was that it forces me to use the awful Windows XP default Colors and Window Styles, can you make one for those of us who use the Windows Classic Style. When I switch I keep the background and sounds but I loose the fonts. Besides that from what I have seen it looks great so far.
And here is the link I promised:

1 more thing a SE4-like color scheme for the windows and menus would be cool.
