Important Notes
_______________

THIS IS A BETA BUILD - IF YOU DONT KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS, ASK FIRST.

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.

2. (Alternate) Click the 'Popout' button to show the Popout Window. This will allow you to select a screenshot preview
    without the main RumShot window getting in your way. Once you are happy with the position of the preview on 
    your desktop, click the 'Popin' button to close the Popout Window and return to the main window. DO NOT MOVE
    THE MAIN WINDOW OR YOU WILL LOSE YOUR POPOUT SELECTION!

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.

How To Use Themes
_______________

Themes are packaged in *.rstheme files. These are just renamed ZIP files. To view the contents, change the extension to .zip and use your
favorite ZIP application to decompress them. 

To use the themes that come with this build, **extract the contents** of the 'Themes' directory in the zip into 'My Documents\Rumshot Themes'.
RumShot will load any themes in the 'My Documents\Rumshot Themes' directory when it is started. If you add themes, you have to restart
RumShot.

Still To Come...
