Mouse Properties, with the four tabs Windows 2000 has. The Mouse applet was one pane of borrowed controls; it is now the sheet itself, built from captures of the original.
- Buttons -- right- or left-handed, with the button that selects picked out on a drawing of the mouse and the two lists of what each button does swapping over with it; single- or double-click to open an item; the double-click speed, with a test area whose box springs open when it sees one.
- Pointers -- the scheme in use, a preview of the pointer the list is on, and every role by the name Windows gives it (Normal Select, Text Select, Busy, Link Select, Move, the four resizes, Unavailable), each showing its own pointer read straight out of the
.curfile playing it. Browse... gives a role another file, written into the set in~/.w2k/cursors; Use Default puts the shipped set back. - Motion -- pointer speed, and acceleration as None, Low, Medium or High. Windows keeps those two apart and this did not: the speed now sets the ratio the X server multiplies movement by, and the acceleration sets the threshold it starts at. Snap to default really does move the pointer onto the button that Enter would press when a dialog opens.
- Hardware -- the pointing devices the kernel knows about.

The Start menu's Windows 2000 width. It was set from a 640x480 capture and was a few pixels out everywhere. Measured against the real menu at 1:1: the banner is 21 pixels, not 22; the text stands 43 in from the item's edge, not 42; the gutter after the longest label is 26, not 20; and the submenu arrow sits 11 in from the right edge. The whole menu is 96 pixels wider than its longest label, which for "Set Program Access and Defaults" is 254 -- exactly what the real one measures.
