I need to start getting a bit more active in this (and other) forums. Most people don't realize how much functionality is crammed into Winstep applications - that above is only scratching the surface. It kills me every time I see someone requesting an ObjectDock feature which has been part of Nexus/Winstep Xtreme for years, and not beeing able to say 'Hey, Nexus does that already'. Thing is, Stardock doesn't interfere with my threads, I don't interfere with theirs. But nothing

Great how you can have an infinite number of nested sub-docks, no? [e digicons]|-)[/e] Don't forget you also have the Shelf (a feature of both Winstep Xtreme and Nexus Ultimate ), which is also a great way to categorize programs: Unlike most tabbed docks out there whi

Are you running Winstep Xtreme 9.5 or 10.4? Reason I'm asking is because the UI was completely redone in 10.4 and the way you do things is different. If you're still running 9.5, you really, really should upgrade to 10.4 (in beta mainly because the documentation is still being updated).

And w hy would that be? Did I say something wrong or that wasn't 100% true? Stardock didn't force anybody to pay for the beta - smart move, as I said. Anyway, you are right that we shouldn't discuss this here, but only because this is a Winstep Nexus thread, not a ObjectDock thread. :)

[quote who="natas2" reply="22" id="2626321"]I've put in my money and my time with this dock, and I'd hate to jump ship because of time[/quote] Yes, it was a very inteligent decision, from a business point-of-view, to make users pay for the very first OD 2.0 beta based only on a handful of screenshots. Once their money has been invested users are commited and, essentially, have no choice but to wait for the final release - however long it takes. Smart. [e digicons]|

[quote] I guess I'll have to see what the final release of 2.0 brings. If I'm not pleased, I may drop the money on Nexus Ultimate.[/quote] According to Stardock, you will have to wait until next Fall then - Jeff is a great developer, but there is only one of him and he is tied up to a lot of projects right now.

Nope, not currently, sorry. Nexus has it's own set of system stat docklets (modules): CPU Meter, Net In and Out Meters and a RAM Meter. Many more are scheduled to be added once the final version of Winstep Xtreme (currently in beta) with the new User Interface and multi language support has been released. The native Modules/Docklets in Winstep applications also feature the same attention to detail Winstep is well-known for: for instance, the Net Meter modules

Just to clear this up: i f you have Xtreme, you are already running Nexus Ultimate. Xtreme includes everything plus the kitchen sink. It also makes toast in the morning.

Winstep has released Nexus v10.4 (and Nexus Ultimate v10.4). The Winstep Nexus Dock is a FREE professional dock for Windows. With Nexus, your most frequently used applications are only a mouse click away - and Nexus turns working with your computer into a FUN and enjoyable experience once again. Nexus includes every feature you’d expect from a dock, including widgets, mouse-over effects, skins, drag-and-drop, and even others not available in most other docks, such as live icon r
Ah, nearly forgot: you might also want to download and install the Nexus v10.4 pre-release from HERE .
Winstep themes have always separated 'content' from looks - this was unique to Winstep for quite a while and meant that Winstep themes were screen resolution independent, for one. If what you want is a way to 'save' your current configuration for yourself (which includes dock contents, icons and current theme being used, etc...) simply use the Backup option in the Advanced tab of Nexus Preferences. This will not move or copy your icons into a theme file (i.e.; it is not intended

There was a bug fix update just a few hours ago (a feature introduced at the last minute caused sound and voice files to be installed at the wrong location) which also added the ability to optionaly 'group' system tray icons (i.e.; system tray icons, instead of being rendered as large individual dock icons, are displayed as a 16x16 icon grid inside one - or more - dock icons). Great space saver! [e digicons]|-)[/e] System tray settings can be found at the bottom of the Effec
There's a bug in 10.3 where the sound and voice paks are installed into the wrong folder when making a clean install of Nexus (serves me right for deciding to add a last minute feature after all that testing). There will be a new release soon to fix this issue. The good news is that I've also added a few major new features in the mean time: 1. The dock's 'Insert Item' sub-menu now has two extra items: 'Show/Hide system tray icons' and 'Show/Hide running applications'. Gu

What I would like to know is how it's possible for IE to let a site lock it up (this is directed at IE, not Wincustomize, of course)! I mean, I couldn't even close the browser, the Window was totally unresponsive. The only way out was to kill the IE process, which, of course, also killed all other IE sessions. This with IE 8 on a Windows 7 64 bit system. Man...

Not only was it terribly slow, it actually managed to hang IE 8 while waiting to download pictures and so forth.
You can kind of say that: the target is 'As soon as possible'. Seriously, I would expect sometime around end-April or so. In terms of Winstep Xtreme itself, essentially all that remains to be done is a a bit of fine-tuning and an update to the documentation. The latter is a major task, unfortunately, as Winstep documentation is always very extensive and detailed - something that seems unique to Winstep in this business [e digicons]:P[/e] .
