Hello,

Thank you for your reply!

Based on my research I didn't think extra resources are needed in the
server. It just uses the Luna.theme and luna folder which are resident in
C:\Windows\Resources\

| Jason,
|
| Thank you for your reply.

the
| classic theme (both in terms of server resources and bandwidth).
