:>OS/2.  Dashboard basically functions like a TOOLBAR, multiple desktop
:>manager (up to 9? i think), program launcher (programs hidden in
:>various Windows groups are accessible via just one click - which is
:>not something i've been able to do yet in os/2)  i've just downloaded
:>Filebar and it seems to function similarly.  are there any other
:>suggested programs that do these functions? a program that's a virtual
:>copy/ port of Dashboard would be the one i'm looking for.


Object Desktop by Stardock.  Does this and much more.

:>2nd query: when i installed warp it migrated my windows groups/progs
:>to the WIN-OS2 folder.  but i noticed that the icons looked quite
:>awful, as if it my monitor just CGA. instead of SVGA. what can i do
:>about the way the icons look.  they're ok in a win-os/2 session but
:>not when they're dragged into os/2 ofolders.


What resolution is your video set to?  Sounds like plain ole VGA to me.


:>oh, 3d Q:  is there ANY decent mouse driver for os/2?? tried
:>RODENT.SYS but it's still not quick enough and starts being jerky/
:>stuttery when used  in winos2 session.


Whats wrong with the default mouse drivers?
