Photo shows CandyBar setup running on @Macarlo's Warp 4.0 CandyBar 1.30 is Out!

CandyBarZ is THE titlebar replacement for OS/2. CandyBarZ' primary feature is gradient-filled titlebars; you choose the top and bottom colors, and it does the rest. Both active and inactive colors are supported, and CandyBarZ will not muck up your titlebar text colors or fonts. Custom colors for individual programs are also supported. I, @Macarlo, registered user of 212 OS/2 programs, including CandyBarZ (I registered it in advance in BMT Micro, at December 97) just downloaded the new file (cbarz130b1.zip, 390Kb) from Netlabs and I'm using it on my Warp 4.0.

CandyBarZ originally was a gradient filled titlebar replacement, but has now been extended to allow 'skinning' of the titlebar, frame backgrounds, and buttons (push, radio, checkbox). Menus and scrollbars will be skinnable in the near future.

The distribution is currently available at hobbes in the incoming directory and will soon be available at the CandyBarZ website

CandyBarZ was originaly developed by Matthew J. Wagner but due the lack of time, he decided to release the code and make CandyBarZ free:

Beginning immediately, the development of CandyBarZ will be taken over by OS/2 Netlabs. Among other things, this means that CandyBarZ will be free. I have several reasons for taking this step, chief among them being lack of time. This move should not be interpreted as the death of another OS/2 developer. I will continue to work on CandyBarZ, along with Peter Garner and Eric Norman. Peter will assume the organizational duties, and suggestions and problem reports should now be sent his way.I would like to thank everyone who has registered CandyBarZ and reassure them that their investment is secure. Development will continue, and many new features are planned. Image support is nearly complete, and my mailbox is overflowing with excellent suggestions for other enhancements.

The Team:

This is the new CandyBarZ team, please send your bugs reports or ideas about CandyBarZ to Jack Troughton!
