Still, just post a message on the Winstep forums with the reply to my questions and I'll try to help you figure out what could be wrong. :)

All the options in the old UI can also be found on the new UI, DrJBHL (except for skinning settings), although at a different place. What exactly is the problem? Why do you say 'it won't let you'? And why not use the Winstep forums to discuss support issues instead of a Nexus announcement at Wincustomize? lol ;)

If you're using OD plus then you might want to give Winstep Xtreme 9.11 Beta a try instead, since the Nexus version in Xtreme supports tabbed docks, multiple docks and sub-docks. If you install the free version of Nexus and then click on the Winstep Xtreme link at the bottom of the About tab in Preferences, you get access to a nice, 50% off, Winstep Xtreme promotion. At $19.95 for a suite of applications that usually sells for $39.90 (WorkShelf + Nexus + NextSTART + Start Menu Organizer Pro + Fo

[quote who="sViz" reply="23" id="2297894"]Lantec mentioned METAR from NOAA and it looks doable. Daunting, but doable. [/quote] Winstep Xtreme uses BOTH Weather.com and METAR data. The problem with METAR is that it provides no weather forecast, and locations are limited to airports worldwide (since it's from airports that NOOA gets their METAR data).

I really don't understand why so many people are bashing Stardock over this one. First and foremost, Stardock already did what they could when they partnered with Accuweather some time ago and *hosted* the weather feed themselves. This means Stardock is the company providing and paying for the bandwidth used by their Accuweather widgets, not Accuweather. Second, DX widget authors are the *only* people responsible for choosing to use Weather.com o

Reply to Invalid zip code when running weather widgets in DesktopX WinCustomize Forums

I made Winstep Xtreme get the weather.com feed again by adding ' &link=xoap&prod=xoap ' to the XML request string. Unfortunately that string is hard coded into the program, so you guys won't be able to change it and will have to wait for an

[/quote] I have no idea if Michael did or did not do what he was charged of. I know he was 'different', but being different is not a crime yet, as far as I know. Let God be the judge. Also, if I was the father of a child molested by someone, I would NEVER REST until I saw that p

Reply to ObjectDock 2.0 - First Sneak Peek in Personal Computing WinCustomize Forums

I realize I'm the one who started this [e digicons]:S[/e] when I defended Winstep on my original reply to Excalpius, but it's not 'good manners' to talk about Nexus on an ObjectDock thread. I probably wouldn't like it much either if Jeff came barging into a Winstep thread and turned it into an ObjectDock discussion.

Reply to ObjectDock 2.0 - First Sneak Peek in Personal Computing WinCustomize Forums

No, indeed you shouldn't, Excalpius. One of my XP testing systems is a very old PIII at 500 Mhz with 384 MB of RAM, and although Nexus doesn't beat any speed records on it, it is still perfectly usable. In fact, my Win9x testing system is an even more ancient (ok, decrepit) PII at 300 Mhz with 128 MB of RAM (of course, since layered windows are not supported under Win9x, there is no magnify animation, which kind of helps [e digicons]:grin:[/e] ). So, the questi

[quote who="Excalpius" reply="1" id="2239137"]But, not to be a party pooper, the Configuration interface for ObjectDock was already just fine and bug free. In fact, even after four years of not changing appreciably at all, it's still MILES easier to use than the latest WinStep Extreme nightmare hodgepodge of Linux GUI 1990's era configuration dialogues...eesh.

HunronJoe, you clicked on the big blue banner that said '50% off', right? I just tried it and it DOES give you the 50% discount (i.e. total price is only $19.95). Give it a try now, it should give you a total of $19.95, NOT $39.90. What I *think* happened is that you had previously visited the normal price purchase page, which put Winstep Xtreme on your shopping cart at the regular $39.90 price. I noticed that the shopping cart 'remembers' previous selections between visits.

HuronJoe, you can get the promotional 50% off price from [link="https://secure.bmtmicro.com/servlets/Orders.ShoppingCart?CID=493&PRODUCTID=4930001&DISCOUNTCODE=BIXL00083"]HERE[/link]. The reason you won't find it anywhere else is because it's a promotional upgrade price for users of the stand alone Nexus version that was just released.

[quote who="zigboom" reply="3" id="2261593"]I found them to be space consuming (one docklet for ram and one for cpu, one net-in and one net-out.) That takes too much space, hope that can improve.[/quote] I'm not very familiar with Sysstats, but each Sysstats docklet seems to use a dock slot as well. And, if you want the information to be readable at all times (even when the dock is not magnifying), then you can't cram too much info into each icon. This way the docklets are mod
