[quote who="sdRohan" reply="7" id="3726229"] Is the instigator (what is causing a change) a 'modern' or UWP app? [/quote] Not only that... even some Win32 applications have stopped using the old 'flash button in the taskbar' method and now use the extended taskbar API for attention notifications. Problem is, while before Windows provided 3rd party applications with a method to know when a button in the taskbar was flashing, the new API doesn't.

[quote who="JuniorCrooks" reply="39" id="3726026"] I feel dumb asking this but how does one go about just launching the dock when you have Winstep Extreme? There are times when I do not want Nextstart or the WorkShelf active, sometimes I only want to use the dock. [/quote] Everything in Winstep Xtreme is modular, so it can be enabled/disabled at will. For instance, when you say you don't want NextSTART, if what you actually mean is the NextSTART taskbar (so you can s

If this is true then Microsoft has descended to new lows. Guess they need to be slapped with another AntiTrust charge to refresh their minds.

I have a very blunt and very sensitive question: As old timers will surely remember, the typical price of applications like ObjectDock, WindowBlinds, Fences, etc, was around the $20-$25 USD mark for many years. Winstep applications were - and are - no exception. Something to take into account is that these are prices that remained unchanged for nearly 20 years, while the cost of living never stopped increasing. I think this is something unique to the Windows utility software b
