CandyBarZ

CandyBarZ is the titlebar replacement for OS/2. CandyBarZ primary feature is to replace the original OS/2 look and feel; you choose what you want to replace and it does the rest. The current version also supports transparency and it can enhance the look and feel of your tilebar, the buttons, checkbox, radiobuttons and so on.

With the new version you can also use bitmaps to skin your OS/2 desktop, upcomming support for WindowBlinds and Linux Themes is planned. If you want to support us join the CandyBarZ mailinglist!
