I'm peeved about this too because I've had countless

Bruce, Insider Preview's are, as you (should) know, Microsoft *beta* versions of Windows. *No company in the world* is going to waste time and resources fixing issues that *may or may not* still be there in the next beta build/official release. When you signed in for the Microsoft's Windows 10 Insider program you should have known already what you were getting yourself into. :)
Gotcha, Jim, thanks! :) For others, there's currently a 24-hour 50% off promotion of Winstep Xtreme over at Bits Du Jour . If you're curious about Winstep Xtreme but haven't taken the plunge yet, make sure not to miss this opportunity! <img src="http://www.winstep.net/images/winstep_teaser_6
Just a heads up that a public beta of v16.6 (Nexus/Nexus Ultimate/Winstep Xtreme) has just been released. Besides now handling UWP/Universal apps in Windows 10 just like any other Win32 applications, there is a new 'Fast Boot' option to make Winstep applications start up much, much, faster after a system reboot or user log-in (especially under Windows 10, as it completely bypasses the ' St
The way I see it, if you are still running Windows 7, stick with it and hold on for dear life. But if you are running that Windows 8 abomination, then anything is better than that, even (gasp) Windows 10.

There is a petition you can sign to see if this matter can be brought to the attention of the EFF. It's only about 4 days old but it's slowly gaining momentum and, at the time I am writing this, already counts with over 4,000 signatures. Personally I'm amazed MS hasn't been hit by a class action suite yet. If you dislike MS latest practices (this has nothing to do with liking the OS itself or not) as much as me, go ahead and add your signature to the petition.
Thanks, Hankers! :)
Just a little taste of things coming your way. I believe this makes Nexus the only Windows dock capable of handling UWP/Metro apps properly under Windows 10: UWP app icons are now rendered properly instead of using a generic App icon, you can now pin UWP apps to the dock from the list of running applications at the right, s
[quote who="Victechnical" reply="10" id="3637545"]Thanks for the reply. I experimented with different themes and color options and eventually discovered that the Colorize option works fine as long as I don't enable "Colorize by shifting hues instead of tinting"[/quote] Both features (tint and hue) are working fine in this release, Victechnical, but they do very different things. I'll repeat what is written above: " The Tint colorization method
Just tried it here to make sure nothing was broken and the colorize function is working perfectly in Nexus as it should. Have you tried a different theme? Some themes are simply black & white or dark gray scale and can't really be colorized.
Does the dock colorize in the Themes tab preview?
[quote who="Uvah" reply="2" id="3637315"]Just one question......how did you manage to fit all that in there without it going kablooey! If it was me I'd go squish in a hurry.[/quote] You mean the text in the above announcement? I opened the post's HTML editor and pasted the HTML code used for the Winstep web site news item, adjusting the URLs as required. WC still managed to play havoc with the formatting of the text.

The Winstep Nexus dock is a FREE dock for Windows. Every feature you’d expect from a dock, including widgets, mouse-ove
Lol, true, sorry, Jafo. You know well I don't usually do this, but Nexus *was* mentioned here as having issues with Windows 10 and I'm not doing anything Brad wouldn't do (and did previously on the Winstep - and other - forums when ObjectDock was discussed there). So, just to wrap this up and then I'll shut up :) : BlackHeretic, I remember your email now. It's not usual to have the dock overlapping the Windows taskbar (more usual is to have it
[quote who="BlackHeretic" reply="9" id="3636533"]Unfortunately, I finally decided to give up on searching for a dockbar for W10: based on my experience, there's no fully-functioning dockbar out there (I had problems even with Winstep Nexus) so I prefer to wait for future releases.

[quote who="Gaspershooters" reply="4" id="3634678"] Quoting BlackHeretic, reply 3 ObjectDock seems to have serious problems when managing Windows 10 apps (and system actions in general, such as Start menu handling). I'm considering to switch to another program. Which one??
Thomas, I know you're not going to like me saying this, but DA are correct in their interpretation of this. Only the author (or some legal representative) can/should request a DMCA takedown of his own work. Otherwise, imagine this: you see someone submitting work that isn't theirs (and they even admit it) but *you* can no longer contact the original author. Unknown to you, the original author might have actually given the submitter permission to re-distribute his work. If DA w

I mean, try for a second to understand my reasoning too - and please feel free to explain where it's wrong: I think the problem of re-distributing a skin/theme is twofold: first, the true author loses control o
[quote who="LightStar" reply="13" id="3627945"]The problem is, some of those authors are no longer around to defend themselves[/quote] Ok, this has nothing to do with this particular issue, but I would like your (everybody's) opinion on something: Those who have been around long enough will still remember Skinz.org. Skinz.org was, at the time, THE site to go for skins, themes, etc, much like Wincustomize/DeviantArt are today. Skinz.org was owned/monetized by a company call
So sorry for your loss, Red! I used to have dogs, so I know exactly how that feels like. :(

Roy, remember that scene in the first Alien movie (1979), where that little cute baby Xenomorph bursts out of the crew member's chest? Well, 'Modern Apps' are exactly like that. They do NOT belong in Win32, they're completely alien to it. What MS was/is trying to do is come up with a closed version of Windows (which, of course, is NOT Windows at all, just runs on top of - or inside - it for the time being) which they can have absolute control over so, among oth
Ouch Mindy! Lots of rest and get well soon! :)
[quote who="Uvah" reply="11" id="3624751"]Winstep runs great on 10 and I haven't noticed any issues. Maybe I don't play with it enough.[/quote] Oh there are minor issues, just as with any other program, but I fix them as soon as they are reported to me (provided I can reproduce them here, of course). I don't like bugs. :) Version 16.3, for instance, should be officially released later today and is essentially a maintenance/bug fix release to v16.2, which was releas
