Important Notes
_______________

THIS IS A PREVIEW! DO NOT EXPECT THE WORLD FROM THIS BUILD!

The theming has only been tested with the default theme. 
Adding themes may have unexpected results! (And besides, you dont know what format they have to be in! Mwahaha!)

By default Rumshot creates the following directories;
My Documents\Rumshot Themes
My Documents\Rumshot Screenshots

By default Rumshot creates the following files
[root]:\Documents and Settings\[current user]\Application Data\Rumshot\rumshot.xml
[root]:\Documents and Settings\[current user]\Application Data\Rumshot\rumshot.backup

How To Use
_______________

1. Click 'Take Screenshot'. 
    This will generate a screenshot of your entire desktop in memory (which means you cant see it).

2. Move the RumShot window around your desktop. 
    You will notice that the 'Theme Composite Preview' pane will change as you move it.
    The preview is generated from the screenshot that step 1 took of your desktop. Consider that a 'still frame'.
    The screenshot you took in Step 1 IS NOT UPDATED IN REAL TIME. 
     If you wish to retake the screenshot captured in Step 1, simply click 'Take Screenshot' again.

3. Click 'Save Screenshot'
    This will prompt you with a Save File dialog. Choose the file extension you wish to save your images in.
    Rumshot will save your entire desktop to a file with the name you have chosen. 
    It will save the preview (themed) image as <filename>_preview.
