:>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? ----- Robert Aboud Member Team OS/2 since 1991 OS/2 BESTeam OS/2 Champion
