Welcome to Bubblepad!
Bubblepad is a replacement class for the Launchpad of OS/2 Warp 3 and above. As the name says it gives you a fly over help for all of the buttons. Now it is possible to distinguish all the different folders you have put on the pad. Furthermore this class
reduces the size of the original launchpad to keep your desktop free. The drawers may be hidden and every action button may be independently removed.

- Fly over help for the buttons
- Customizable colours and font for the help window
- Reduced size by decreasing the border width and reordering of the buttons
- Full online help is provided
- German and english Language version

- Fixed crash on eCS 1.1 and higher.
- Clicking 'Shutdown' action button now invokes the system confirmation dialog.

V1.06 (26.10.03):

on shutdown. State restoring on closing and reopening isn't supported yet

New with V1.01 (08/20/98):
- Corrected stucking help window problem. Help windows are always properly destroyed now, even if drawers are set to autoclose.
New with V1.00b (08/18/98):
- Corrected positioning of drawers. Drawers below or on the left of the launchpad were placed with an offset to the launchpad.
- Timer routines for the help windows rewritten.
New with V1.00a (08/16/98):
