Minimal Large Skins for LockJaw
===============================
Created by Rich „Weeds„ Nagel

Overview
--------
This archive contains two new replacement skins for version 0.40a (or newer) of
Damian Yerrick's EXCELLENT "LockJaw" Tetris-styled tetromino game. Find out
more about this great freeware Tetris game at http://www.pineight.com/lj on the
Internet!

The skins are quite minimalistic and feature a blank background image, two
types of block images, and color scheme based on my previously released
"Minimal" skins for LockJaw, and are simply larger-sized (48x48 block size)
versions of them. The skin also includes replacement background music as well
(the main-menu Tracker format music "Music_0.psm" from Epic MegaGames' "Extreme
Pinball", composed in 1995 by Robert Allen for the game).


Files Included in this Archive
------------------------------
Note that unlike most of my other previously released skins and skin packs for
LockJaw, this archive includes only one version of the new replacement skins,
and are only suitable for use when LockJaw's "Playfield Position" option is set
to "Left", and for single-player games (in the future, when LockJaw eventually
supports multi-player games).

Skin:               "Minimal Large Skin" - Minimalistic background and blocks
                    based on my previously released "Minimal" skins for
                    LockJaw.

Installation
------------
To install the Minimal Large Skins for LockJaw, unzip
Weeds_LockJaw_Minimal_Large_Skins.zip to the same directory where LockJaw is
installed on your hard drive, maintaining the directory structure within the
archive. To upgrade the Minimal Large Skins for LockJaw from any previous
versions, simply overwrite the existing files within the same directories.

Note that the Minimal Large Skins for LockJaw also require the Tracker format
music file "LockJaw Technical Funk Rhythm 20G.xm" if you wish to hear music
when playing any of LockJaw's "Rhythm" (20G) speed curves. This music file is
not included in this archive, but is available as a seperate download from
http://tang.cmoo.com/~snor/weeds/Weeds_LockJaw_Technical_Funk_Rhythm_20G.zip.
Unzip Weeds_LockJaw_Technical_Funk_Rhythm_20G.zip to the same directory where
LockJaw is installed on your hard drive to hear music when playing LockJaw
using any of these speed curves with these skins.


Usage
-----
Simply run LockJaw, and then select your choice of either the "Minimal Large
Skin.skin" or the "Minimal Large Skin Segmented Blocks.skin" "SKIN" files from
within the game's "Skin" menu. As previously mentioned, these skins are only
suitable for use when LockJaw's "Playfield Position" option is set to "Left",
and for single-player games (in the future, when LockJaw eventually supports
multi-player games).

Note: For best visual results, set LockJaw's "Well Width" option to "12" or
less, the "Well Height" option to "10" or less, and the "Next Pieces" option to
"5" or less within the game for the new replacement skins.
