Nexus is a program designed to help you boost up your productivity while working on your computer. This application places a dock on your desktop that gives you immediate access to various Windows widgets (clock, weather, etc.), running tools, frequently used directories or utilities, and many others.

The app gives you the liberty to customize the appearance of the dock anyway you like. Basically, this app is the advanced version of the dock you have on a Mac machine. You can add as many elements as you like to your dock, remove the ones you don't use, change their order, etc.

All you need to do in order to add a new item to your dock is to right-click over the app's window, select the "Insert New Dock Item" option, and choose the item you wish to append. You can insert a folder or app icon, URL, and many other types of items which give you immediate access to the information you need.

This program also features some hidden Windows features, such as the ability to hide desktop items. Simply click over the Nexus item from the dock and you will find a wide range of other useful features.

The developer also released an Ultimate version of this app, which, unlike the Standard variant, comes with a price tag. This special version provides you with more features, like the ability to handle multiple docks, add an unlimited number of clock alarms and reminders, etc. Either way, both app variants are efficient and easy-to-use. It's up to you to decide which one fits your needs.


v16.3.0.1030 [Feb 12, 2016]
Updated Spanish language file.
The CD Control internal command was displaying an error message on some systems.
Lauching items pointing to shortcuts (.lnk files) of a 64 bit application resulted in a 'File not found' error.
Fixed the 'Stop' image in the Troubleshooting dialog so it properly scales up on high-DPI systems and displays a flat-image icon on Windows 10 systems.
Decreased the luminance value of the smaller and thinner language identifier text in the Language Bar icon so it's a bit more visible.
The CD Control internal command was unable to eject media on computers that did not support loading media via software.
The systray icons of a handful of applications (such as KVirc and Agnitum Outpost Pro) were not playing well with the system tray handling of Winstep applications because they reported a pre-Vista notify icon structure to the system but actually expected mouse click messages to be passed using the post NOTIFYICON_VERSION_4 format.
The Quick Launch section in the Taskbar was not automatically reflecting changes made to the name of Windows Quick Launch shortcuts.
Disabling the capture of WorkShelf Desktop Modules into the taskbar as icons was not automatically changing the format of the captured desktop modules, only the opposite did.
Fixed issue in which a WorkShelf module captured into the NextSTART taskbar might fail to appear if the taskbar was previously hidden or collapsed.
