Dialog Enhancer

Dialog Enhancer '99 is a desktop enhancer for OS/2 Warp 4.

Features

 * Colour Manager
 * Additional application support
 * New desktop look by resizing dialogs, adding new icons and changing the font to WarpSans


 * New system font : All enhanced dialog boxes now use WarpSans supplied with Warp 4.0 onwards. As a result, less space is required and the font is much easier on the eye.
 * Control positioning: Buttons, text boxes, labels are resized and re-positioned by hand to ensure a consistent layout. In many cases, dialog boxes are significantly reduced in size.
 * New graphics : New image resources are added to many dialogs to enhance their appearance. Many old dialog graphics have also been spruced up.
 * Extra Information : Some of the more complex dialog boxes have extra assistance text added to better convey information to a user.
 * Memory optimization : Bitmap and icon resources have redundant frames removed to reduce space required on the hard disk as well as memory.
 * 3rd party apps : In addition to the default OS files, several 3rd party applications are supported and can be visually updated.
 * Tweaks: Adjustments to the display of icons allow the user to enjoy smaller icons at larger resolutions. Window movement is also improved by eliminating the horizontal jump drag bug.
