Winstep Nexus dock v16.12 released!

It's still the best dock available anywhere, and yet you keep finding ways to improve it. Awesome!

Look out Mac.....here comes Winstep. Way to go Jorge. 

*que William Tell Overture*

Thanks.

There is always room for improvement.

I'm seeing a problem with this release.  The icons in my left vertical dock are suddenly tiny.  If I try to increase their size under dock properties, the docks gets much larger but not the icons.  Finally, I see a huge black rectangle under the icon, rather than a thumbnail of the application window, when I hover over it.  Very ugly!  What happened?

Can you post a screenshot, please?

EDIT: Also, what version of Windows? Didn't have any other complaints so far.

The Nexus dock, and in fact, all of WinStep Xtreme are simply great, and are extremely functional.

Even better, there are so many skins available which can be used together with Windowblinds with no conflict whatsoever.

Thanks for this wonderful software Jorge, and the updates to it!      

I'll also take this opportunity to wish you a very Merry Christmas, my friend!

Windows 10 Pro 64-bit.  1607

The tiny icon issue went away after a reboot.  The other problem remains.

Another problem I have, not mentioned above, is ongoing since I installed Nexus.  I get a blank space above the first running app icon.  If I select Dock Properties and simply click OK the blank goes away for a while and then returns.  You can see in the screenshot as well.

Having a problem with Photobucket.  I login and it shows my library of images.  When I click upload it makes me login again.  I can't get out of the loop.  I will post a screenshot later when I can.

Thanks Doc, and Merry Christmas to you too!

Try Imgur, or you can send the screenshot directly to the Winstep support address.

If Photobucket continues to have problems I'll try the site you suggested.  By the way, the tiny icons are back.   

I have Winstep Ultimate.  Can I redownload and reinstall the software?

Yes you can (the download link is in the email with your license key). You can also reset settings to factory default instead (Preferences -> Advanced tab -> Troubleshooting Options).

However, I would really, really, like to see a screenshot of what is happening in there before you do any of those things.

I downloaded Nexus more than a year ago.  I no longer have the email link.

Please send me an email to Winstep support. Just mention Wincustomize so I know who you are.

Email on its way.

Ditto!

I sent screenshots but have not heard back from anyone.  in the meantime I reset all Nexus options and then restored them from backup.  There is no change.  In fact it's a little worse, with sometimes being unable to richt click a doc to get to the context menu.  In addition, my dock of running applications often freezes and won't auto-hide.

Finally, I noticed my subscription expired on the 16th so I renewed online.  I see the chareg on my credit card account but Nexus sttill says it expried on the 16th of this month, 2016.  

Your new license key was sent automatically when you renewed. Perhaps the email got trapped by your spam filter? Otherwise you have to apply the new license key for Nexus Ultimate to know it has been renewed.

Anyway, replied by email and attached to that a copy of the original message with your license key.

A month later and my issues remain unresolved.  I did send screenshots to support but have not heard back anything.  My running apps dock freezes multiple times per day.  

Uninstalling/reinstalling doesn't fix the problem.

There's a new beta that has just been released, try it out (you must enable the 'notify me of beta (test) versions' setting in the Advanced tab of Preferences), then please let me know if that fixed your problem.

Also, did you see my PM to you here after Jafo deleted my reply to your comment (as well as all other comments praising Winstep applications made by SD/Winstep users) in the OD thread about something you thought couldn't be done but actually can (customizing running application icons)?

P.S. Might be related to your issue or have nothing to do with it at all, but if you read THIS HUGE THREAD in the Winstep forums you will realize how buggy/badly coded 3rd party audio codec and filters can bring other applications down through no fault of their own (and how I went out of my way to work around bugs in OTHER PEOPLE's code).

This only started happening now because the new voice notifications use MP3 files, unlike the old notifications which used WAV files.

Jorge....wasn't being vindictive and it did probably affect your problem resolution, however that was the Stardock Support Forum and it is imperative that comments remain relevant to the posted issue [which obviously had nothing to do with non-Stardock software].

Had the discussion been on any other forum section it would be welcome...;)

Quoting Jafo, reply 20

Had the discussion been on any other forum section it would be welcome...

Look, I understand, and this is a fine line we walk, but *the only reason* I posted on that thread was because Gevan said something inaccurate about Nexus and I wanted to let him (and others) know that you could actually do what he thought couldn't be done, and how to do it.

I didn't take that thread off-topic, others did before me and I just exercised my right to clarify a relevant issue.

Problem is, you then deleted *all* the posts that said something nice about Winstep software - and included my reply to Gevan. I bet he didn't even get a chance to read it, and that meant the time I took to reply to him was totally wasted.

I know that different houses, different rules, but if you go to the Winstep forums you will find plenty of mentions to Stardock software there, including comparisons between ObjectDock and Nexus (and Nexus doesn't always come out winning, by the way). The two companies have an history together going back to 1999, after all. What you won't see is me deleting any of those posts - even though it can be said that the whole Winstep forum is strictly a support forum.

I had already told Neil I would not butt in into any OD support thread unless someone said something about Winstep software that needed clarification. He agreed with me because that is just common sense - and something needing clarification is exactly what prompted my reply.

I obviously didn't like what happened, but I'm not upset either - just wanted to clear this out.

In other news, there is a new public beta of Winstep Xtreme, Nexus Ultimate and Nexus just out of the oven.

The new release includes a brand new Moon Phases module, smooth Shelf scrolling, more clock alarm schedule options, the ability to individually configure sub-dock themes, icon sizes, etc..., parent docks now magnify even when sub-docks are open, NextSTART can now be made to reserve screen areas on monitors other than the primary, Nexus Ultimate now displays the full blow calendar when you click on the calendar module, and much more!
