Winstep Nexus Dock v15.9 Released!

from WinCustomize Forums



Windows 10 Ready The Winstep Nexus dock is a FREE dock for Windows. Every feature you’d expect from a dock, including widgets, mouse-over effects, skins, drag-and-drop, and many others not available in most other docks, such as live icon reflections, in-dock system tray, blur-behind effects, and much more. Completely customizable, with thousands of different backgrounds freely available online, Nexus is fully compatible with skins for all 3rd party docks.

Supported Languages: Bulgarian, Catalan, Chinese (Traditional), Chinese (Simplified), Croatian, Czech, Dutch, English, Farsi (Persian), Finnish, French, German, Hungarian, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Portuguese (Brasil), Russian, Serbian, Slovak, Spanish, Swedish.

Nexus runs on the 32 and 64 bit versions of Windows 2000, XP, 2003, Vista, 7, 8.x and Windows 10.

v15.9 is a monster release, with hundreds of changes and additions. Focus was on adding missing key functionality as well as, of course, some new eye-candy.

What's New? Highlighted Features:

 

    • Speed! Due to new and improved activation and hide delay timings, Nexus simply feels a lot more responsive. Rendering performance when shifting icons in a fully expanded Shelf to make room for a new shortcut is now also an order of magnitude faster (Nexus Ultimate only).

 

 

    • Improved Windows 10 integration.
    • Now fully high-DPI aware. Throw anything at it from 100% to 200% scaling and everything will still work and look as it should. New settings added to control the scaling of menus and the Shelf on high DPI systems.
    • Added support for systems with multiple input languages: new 'Language Bar' internal command can be placed anywhere and emulates the functionality of the Windows language bar.

 

 

    • New optional Edge Swipe activation mechanism.
    • Shortcuts in the dock now double up as running application icons, so there is no duplication of icons when running applications are being displayed in the dock.

 

    • Shelf now smoothly resizes when double clicking a tab header to fully expand the Shelf in order to show all the contents of that tab at once (Nexus Ultimate only).
    • Weather module now automatically retrieves the user's location when running for the first time. Also added new 'Get My Location' button in the Weather settings panel.

 

 

    • New Smoke mouseover/launch/attention effect. Not too intrusive and makes the dock look like it's on fire! My new personal favorite when combined with the magnify effect.

 

    • Added support for RKLauncher dock skins.
    • New option to colorize themes based on the dominant color of the current desktop background.

 

    • Explosion animation shown when an item is deleted or removed is now user-customizable.
    • New optional Windows 10 style for some UI elements, specifically designed so the application blends in with the new Windows version. Automatically enabled on Windows 10 systems.

 

    • Added new 'Action Center' internal command (Windows 10 only).
    • Clicking the clock module now shows the Windows calendar instead of the Regional Settings dialog (Windows 7 onwards).
    • Font size in the User Interface is now automatically decreased when a non-English language is selected to better accomodate the (usually) longer translations.
    • ... many other performance and stability improvements!

I'll get there. Haven't been skinning much lately.

 

Any chance with Windows10 in mind, that we can set multiple NextStart taskbars to support multiple monitors?

 

Best thing I can think of, until WindowBlinds 10 is released.

Just to let you guys know that there is a 24 hour Black Friday, 50% off, promotion of Winstep Xtreme over at BitsDuJour. :)

Reply #134 from WinCustomize Forums Top

BitsDuJour a 'bit' slow on the uptake.

But its a good thing for those who haven't got Winstep Streme yet.  :-"

Guessing it doesn't apply to renewals?

Jorge, what is Winstep Xtreme Home Network? 

Reply #137 from WinCustomize Forums Top

It's for those who have up to 5 computers at home and/or want to use Winstep Xtreme at work as well as on several computers at home. Basically a 'family pack license' for up to 5 users.

I was going to buy WinStep Xtreme at the BitsDujour 50% off sale today Jorge, but when you go to the checkout it shows full price, so I did not. Might wan t to look into that. Sale will be over before it can be fixed I would imagine though.  :(

Lightstar, pardon for asking this, but are you sure? All the sales I see coming through here are with the 50% discount. Are you using a credit card or Paypal? Do you see the discount before the Checkout?

BDJ told me there was an issue with Paypal not assuming the discount but they said they had already taken care of that with BMT Micro. I don't have Paypal so I can not test this.

Also, try making the purchase directly in the Winstep site instead of going through BDJ, see if the problem persists.

Please let me know either way.

Jorge has a PM.

 

Reply #141 from WinCustomize Forums Top

All the problems occur in IE and Chrome, through BitsDujour or your sites purchase area Jorge. Before checkout the price is fine but after going to checkout it goes to the original price. Credit card or PayPal doesn't matter, the problem occurs either way.

 

Also, I have tried at least 10 times and the problem always occurs. Even tried on my cell phone.

Reply #142 from WinCustomize Forums Top

Redneck, you have a PM too.

Lightstar, I just made a test order here and there were two things I noticed:

1. The discount and price were fine in the first page, as you said.

2. However, when I press the checkout button the order is immediately fulfilled (and with the discounted price). There is no second panel with another checkout price.

Since the e-commerce part is all handled by BMT Micro I'm not sure what is going on. To have something to send them so they can look into it, can you please send me two screenshots to the Winstep support address? The first holding the pre-checkout screen, the second the screen you get with the non-discounted price after clicking checkout.

Please don't forget to erase/edit out any private credit card number information on those screenshots (I know you won't have a problem knowing how to do that) ;-)

Reply #143 from WinCustomize Forums Top

Will do Jorge, but it will have to wait until tomorrow. Thanks for looking into this.

 

You have PM Jorge.  :)

Reply #144 from WinCustomize Forums Top

The discount code issue with Paypal and Amazon orders has been fixed. :)

Reply #145 from WinCustomize Forums Top

I got me the Winstep Xtreme Home Network Edition!!!   Thanks, Jorge!!

 

Now, if only I could have 2 NextStart taskbars, one for each monitor........

 

I know I can span monitors, but I'd prefer 2 separate bars.

 

I want a lot, huh?

Reply #146 from WinCustomize Forums Top

Yep. lol

But it makes sense. :)

 

Reply #147 from WinCustomize Forums Top

So, I assume you're on it?   :-"

Reply #148 from WinCustomize Forums Top

Not to ruin the party, and I do realize this thread has gotten off course, it would be cool to have the ability to set the NextStart start button to open Start10, rather than the default Win10 menu.

If you can get Start10 to open via a command line switch, then you can. Remember the NS Start Button is an hotspot like any other, so it can be associated to basically anything, not just the main NextSTART menu.

As if I had any idea what a command line switch is, or how to make one..... o_O
