+Note: Better screenshots will be provided shortly.
 You can download the alternative theme using this link [https://cumuluswiki.org/images/7/7c/Ai-cmx-latest.zip Alternative Interface for CumulusMX]. It is also available on the Forum under CumulusMX ~ Alternative Interfaces.

+=== Installation ===
+Once you have downloaded the zip file, extract it somewhere other than your CumulusMX installation.  This will avoid accidentally overwriting your existing Interface contents.
+The Extracted package should consist of a single folder - ai.cmx, which can then be copied into the existing Interface folder so it shows as a sub-folder.
+You are there ready to start using it.  If you use the url: http://localhost:8998/ to run your normal interface, you can simply add the folder name to the end like so:
+http://localhost:8998/ai.cmx/
+Of course localhost can be replaced with the IP address of the machine running CumulusMX.
+You still have access to the default interface if you want.  It can also be run from the alternative interface - there is a menu item at the right end to do this.
