   ===============================================
1. If you are using Metacity window manager:
   ===============================================

        In the folder 'gconf' you will find some settings and readme file for the metacity theme.
        

   ===============================================
2. If you are using Emerald window manager: 
   ===============================================

        Use Emeral Theme Manager to install the themes available in the Emerald folder.
        

   ===============================================
3. Installing Firefox tweaks and fixes:
   ===============================================

	Fix Firefox's menu text:

        To fix the firefox bug you need to put the file userChrome.css in you profile's directory. For Firefox the path is ~/.mozilla/firefox/(xxxx).default/chrome/ where (xxxx) is some text different over installations. For Thunderbird the procedure should be the same.

	Install Fast Dial and the appropriate New Wave theme for it:

	You could find the addin for firefox here:
	http://userlogos.org/extensions/fastdial
	Then after you install it open the Mozilla subfolder and use the FastDial preferences (cintext menu in the dial window) to import the theme NewWave4FastDial.zip.
	If you don't have Mozilla folder please download the pack from here:
	https://launchpad.net/anton/+download

	

   ===============================================
4. Use in root programs (e.g. Synaptic):
   ===============================================

        To use the theme for the root programs (Synaptic) you need to type this in therminal:
                sudo ln -s ~/.icons /root
                sudo ln -s ~/.themes /root
		sudo ln -s ~/.fonts /root

        That creates a link to the local folder where you keep your themes.


   ===============================================
5. Compiz-Fusion Settings:
   ===============================================

        You can load the settings that goes best with New Wave by starting up the Advance Desktop Effects Utility program from the System > Preferences menu. There you could load the settings that are located in the Compiz-Fusion folder.
   
   
   ===============================================
6. Installing the icons - Elementary Ubuntu:
   ===============================================    
   
        The icons are hosted on the Launchpad project page (see 7. Useful Links - Icon repository). To download the you should have bazaar version control system installed on your PC. 
        You can download it from here: 'http://bazaar-vcs.org/Download' 
        
        After you have bzr installed you will need to check out (download) the icons by typing the command that is specified if the 'Get this branch:' field on the web page loaded earlier, e.g. 'bzr push lp:~ubuntu-new-wave/anton/devel.icons'.
        
        Then you should have the icons downloaded in the folder where the terminal was opened (by default is your home one).


   ===============================================
7. Installing Lock-Dialog theme:
   =============================================== 
   
        This themse the Gnome lock-dialog window. You can download it from the wiki or Gnome-Look.org (see 8. Usefull links). Then follow these steps to install:
   
        1. Unpack files to /usr/share/gnome-screensaver/. If you update you should replace all old files with the new ones. You may exclude the README file.

        2. Open gconf-editor (Alt+F2, type it and press enter) change the entry apps/gnome-screensaver/lock_dialog_theme from 'default' to 'newwave'

        3. Enjoy!

        To enjoy this theme fully I recommend using a picture of your choice of size 96x96 px. You could change your current one by going to System > Preference > About Me and click on the button besides your name.

        If you want to get back you old theme you should do step 3 in reverse: replace 'newwave' with 'default'
