:title. Help for Bubblepad
:h1 res=001.Bubblepad V1.03
:i1 global.Bubblepad
:p.
The bubblepad is a replacement class for the launchpad of OS/2 Warp 3 and Warp 4. It provides bubblehelp for the
buttons of the launchpad and minimizes its size. There is an additional option to hide the drawer buttons.
With V1.03 it's possible to hide each action button. Activate this feature on the third otions page.
:p.
This DLL and the accompaigning program are provided 'as is' under the terms of the Gnu Public Licence (GPL) and
Gnu Public Library Licence (GPLL) respectively.
For further information read the file 'COPYING'.
:note text='Usage'.
:p.
Bubblehelp is activated after checking of :hp2.Activate bubblehelp:ehp2.. Adjust the delay by changing the value
of :hp2.Delay:ehp2.. You can change the colour and font on the next settings page. The size is adjustable on the
option pages.

:h2 res=200.Additional Options
:p.
You can minimize the distance between buttons by checking the item :hp2.Small launchpad:ehp2. on the fourth option page.
The spin button :link reftype=hd res=302.Distance of buttons:elink. adjusts the distance.
If you like very large launchpads you can increase it, too...
:p.
Check :hp2.Remove drawer buttons:ehp2. to remove the buttons from the launchpad.
:p.
With version 1.02 BubblePad saves the state of drawers on shutdown and reopens them during next boot. Use the
checkbox :hp2.Open drawers during reboot:ehp2. to customize this feature.
:h3 res=302.Distance of buttons
:p.
The button distance is adjustable from 4 to 18 pixel. With small values the size of the launchpad decreases dramatically.
