You're probably thinking of OS/2 1.1, which was very close to Windows 2.0 in look and feel, i.e. flat and mostly monochrome, although it had a proportional system font where Windows still used monospace (Fixedsys). Comparison:

OS/2 1.2 added the style that would become Windows 3.0's, with beveled buttons and so on, while Windows 3.0 upgraded to the proportional font (System) that OS/2 had been using.
- pavlov 10y agoRight! 1.1 was the version I was thinking of. (I remember using 1.3 which had the proportional font and pseudo-3D widgets, and assumed the look was introduced in that version.)
