Abe's Oddysee Desktop Theme
 
Anyone use it? Anyone ever heard of it? It came with my version of AO:D
I took a quick look through the forums and through The Oddworld Library, Universe and Web and couldn't find it. Perhaps someone should consider putting it up for download. It's all rather ordinary quality, but hey, it's Oddworld!

I have a Abe's Exoddus Windows 98 theme that came free with the game.

Can you/ how would I use this on Win 7?

I've been using it on my windows 7. Basically, all I did was go to:
Start>>
Control Panel>>
Hardware and sound>>
Under devices and Printers, click Mouse>>
Click on the "Pointers" tab>>
And for each pointer selected, click "browse" and go into the "Desktop Theme" Folder which you downloaded, and select the pointer which matches the default one.

As for the sound, just go into Control Panel again,
Click Hardware and Sound again>>
Under Sound, click "Change system sounds"
and it's pretty much the same as the pointers. For each sound highlighted, try to match it in the Desktop Theme folder by clicking "browse". There isn't a custom sound to match every default sound but it's just the important ones.

Almost forgot about those :p

Yeah the AO and AE themes were a nice little bonus.
I think they are included in those Good Old Games packages too, not sure about the steam version.

I like the Abe Cursor you get with it. I use it on my computer now :D

It was a fun theme back in the day, but it started to get on my nerves with all the sounds. Always got scared when an error appeared and Abe got angry.
