Reply to Winstep releases Winstep Xtreme v11.10 and Nexus dock free v11.10 in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

Unfortunately you will have to wait a little while for the long promised Winstep Theme builder application (currently vaporware, please be gentle!). Before v9.5 all skinning settings were part of the UI GUI of Winstep Xtreme, but when the UI was revamped those settings were removed to keep it simple, since most users are not skinners. The idea was to move them to a separate application - the very same one that is currently in vaporware land. Hopefully not for much longer, thou

Reply to The Weather Channel Widgets Updated!! in OS Customization WinCustomize Forums

There's a new release of Winstep Xtreme/Nexus Ultimate/Nexus currently being beta tested that solves this problem by using two other weather feeds (one primary and another as a backup feed in case something similar to this happens again). Official versions will be released this week. I wouldn't mind making some kind of a reasonable deal with TWC to keep using their feed (it's their business, after all) but not when they seem to value their data as being more precious than

What I find most interesting in that email is Microsoft's position at the time that "OS/2 was plagued from the beginning by the late deliveries and poor code, demonstrating again that excellent software can only be written by small teams, at a single site, sharing a similar culture. " The Microsoft of today is the IBM of yesterday.

[quote who="DrJBHL" reply="22" id="3017309"]Could you please go over the version numbering? I currently have Winstep Extreme v. 11.6 . Nexus as well as Nexus Extreme should be numbered the same, no? So what is 11.1 referring to? Your last release had them both updated at the same time to 11.6.[/quote] It's not v11.1, it's v11.*10*. Not '11.one', but '11.ten'.

[quote who="roflmfaoo" reply="14" id="3017256"]It's a little late here I had misread, it's the winstep xtreme that conflicts and by conflict I mean take priority in skinning the actual taskbar of the shell etc... [/quote] It doesn't take priority, Roflmfaoo, it actually hides the normal Windows taskbar and replaces it with it's own version. Being skinned by Winstep so it matches the current Winstep theme, this taskbar replacement is not affected by WindowBlinds. <

[quote who="CarGuy1" reply="8" id="3017238"]Jorge...on a side note, what's the latest version number? I currently have 11.6 and was waiting for an update to renew my sub.[/quote] Then you have the latest version. v11.10 should be released sometime next week, though - which is not a problem for those taking advantage of this 50% off promotion, because it includes the normal full year of free upgrades.
