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.
