I think I'll stick with Workplace Shell for Windows, which looks and works like the OS/2 Workplace Shell. I also use a tool called Makeover which lets me change the window buttons stored in the video driver to look like OS/2 buttons.
I wish there were a way to unlock features of trial software from around this time period considering it has to be abandonware at this point. Some of these features look really cool but I don't want to have to uninstall after the trial period or be nagged by dialog boxes after the expiration. If I didn't have enough projects on my plate already, I would love to write a replacement with the same features.
I remember when "3-D dialogs" was the new thing. 😆
Aah yes, and the excitement when VB users first got threed.vbx
Always interested in seeing such shells and utilities of this era! Also, not a great fan of the alternative cursors. Thanks for your videos!
@@stackIsOverflow yeah, those cursors are … ^^
You've got the best topics, all of the time! Love it!!

I wonder if vetusware might've had it too, that site has a ton of obscure software (like dashboard!)
