Hi, Sarah! I downloaded this theme some time ago, and posted my findings on it, too. One thing that is important to remember is that it is not a Microsoft Plus theme...it is a Connectix Desktop Designer theme, and you must install Desktop Designer for it to work correctly. (I think this particular theme installs it for you, and then you run it from your Display window).

As for the cursor, it drove me crazy, and I replaced it promptly with a more accurate one. Go to your control panel & double click on the Mouse icon, select the "pointers" tab and browse for a cursor you like better. Voila! No more problem.

The pictures appear to be the ones from Tony Hind's Australian LOTM site, and are quite good, though on my monitor, they are stretched way too big & become pixilated. I fixed that by unclicking the "stretch" button (found on the "plus" tab in the display panel.) Now they are smaller but much sharper & not distorted.

Also, for anyone who'd like it, I have a Plus theme I made, featuring Hawkeye & Cora under the waterfall, with appropriate sounds, etc. Just email me, and I'll email it back to you as a zip file. You do need Microsoft Plus, or its equivalent, to run it.
