1/29/96 - Object Desktop 'like' controls
This archive is meant for use with CHG_CTLS (any version).
It will alter your control buttons to look more like the
controls used in Object Desktop. The controls are not an
exact replica in any means, but an interpretation by me
of the controls I saw in an .GIF file of the OD desktop.
Some of the controls are different, and the colors are
different, but for the most part they look similar!
Installation
Replace the CTLS.RES file in this archive with the one in
the CHG_CTLS program and then follow the directions of the
CHG_CTLS program.
Replace the NPSWPSCB.BMP with the NPS WPS 'X' close button
to finish the whole effect.
Problems
I could have altered the controls for the settings notebook
as well, but it seems that IBM has programmed the PM so that
these controls are scaled by some means.
For example, in 800x600 when I open the Desktop's settings
notebook, the 'left' and 'right' arrow buttons at the bottom
right of the notebook look squished and rounded. This is due
to the settings notebook rescaling them. In reality, the
.BMPs for these two controls are crisp and sharp looking
arrows.
