This is an experiment of trying to merge the "Graphic Resources" of OS/2, ArcaOS in a single directory.
The idea is basically create a "C:\Resources" folder and include several other folders of common OS graphical resources like:
- Boot Logos
- Images
- Wallpapers
- Patterns
- Icons
- Screen Savers
- Fonts
- Pointers
The goal will be to find out if it is done, what programs and components of the OS will fail trying to find the right location for it. A goal will be also to document workarrounds to resolve any issue as a result of this change.
Pointers
Moving the pointers from it's location will cause an error on the Mouse Settings when you try to load a "Pointer Set".
- Comments by Lars Erdmann
The Mouse Setup object is managed by WPS class called "WPMouse". That class is implemented in DLL WPCONFIG.DLL. WPCONFIG.DLL has the following text string in it:
STARTFOLDER=?:\OS2\POINTERS
It is therefore hard coded and cannot be changed.
Note: The STARTFOLDER is a setup string for the "wpclsFindOneObject" class method of WPObject for the top level folder to search from. So you will only be able to search under that folder.
