Dialog Enhancer set to support Communicator/2
With the release of Netscape Navigator 4 for OS/2 in the last couple of days
for public testing the OS/2 community was finally graced with a more up to
date browser to cope with modern web navigation. Unfortunately, as with the
previous version (2.02), the dialog boxes remain ugly, unorganized and waste
valuable screen space.
Thankfully, the new Navigator subsystem can be modified unlike previous
versions, and as a result, the Dialog Enhancer team are currently working on
updating all of the dialogs used. Areas being addressed are :
# Size of dialogs significantly reduced.
# WarpSans used instead of Helvetica.
# All controls changed to Dialog Enhancer standard size.
# Icons to improve clarity of dialog boxes.
Expect to see a beta test containing the patch within the next fortnight,
before that, we would like to hear from users about areas of the browser
that need to be addressed, and any images that need to be tweaked. The
project is quite large so all comments are welcome.
