Dialog Enhancer improves the look of the OS/2 desktop by modifying the dialog files held within the system. The aesthetic look and operation of the dialogs can be changed. Components that Dialog Enhancer can update are:

  • System font used - Changes this to the new OS/2 Warp 4.0 system font.
  • Control positioning - Improves the positioning and size of these.
  • New icons and bitmaps - Adds new icon resources to the dialogs.
  • Extra text - Adds extra information to some dialogs to reduce confusion.
  • Window - Repairs windows with no border definitions.
  • Sizing - Reduces the screen footprint for all windows.
  • New system icons - Updates some of the system icon set with new icons.
  • Win-OS/2 - Makes the Win-OS/2 support look & feel more like OS/2
  • 3rd Party Apps - Support applications other than those developed through IBM.

In addition to enhancing the look of the desktop, Dialog Enhancer also provides the following additional features:

  • Small font option - For registered users only, the installer gives the user the option to specify a smaller 32x32 icon scheme for higher screen resolutions.
  • Increased memory - The redesigned resources compiled into the system are now compressed. This means that each program/DLL takes less space when loaded into memory.
  • Smooth horizontal scroll - A small but useful feature which fixes the horizontal window "jump" movement when dynamic window drag is enabled.
  • Colour Manager - Users now have the ability to adjust the colours of the window controls to suit their desktop schemes.
This software is distributed as compressed package. You have to download and manually install it; if prerequisites are required, you will have to manually install them too.
