If you ever thought that your Windows needs some tweaks and customization and didn't know how to do that, there is a solution to your dilemma: Winstep Xtreme.
This software makes your Windows experience more enjoyable by improving its appearance and its functions.
At first instance, the interface may be confusing because of its numerous functions spread around the desktop, the high amount of options and functionalities not being characteristic to default Windows. After a while, you'll get used to and you'll start enjoying the futuristic design and various desktop themes options.
What Winstep Xtreme does to your Windows is completely changing the look of your desktop by adding a new wallpaper, animations, and modifying the taskbar.
The result is a completely new desktop, one that is equipped with a Workshelf-for better organize documents, work projects, URLs, movies-, Modules, such as Clock, Battery monitor, Moon Phases, Weather monitor, Net and RAM Meters, and an improved Start Menu Organizer.
Moreover, you can create your own customized menus by using the drag&drop function, or you can "attach" menus to different areas of your desktop and applications.
In the end, the price you'll have to pay to enjoy these features is the increase of system resources...and 29.95$ for PRO version of the software.
v19.2
Nexus v19.2 complete change log:
- Under Windows 10 with Dark Mode enabled for the UI, the color of the section category text in Preferences is always kept bright even if the currently selected Windows accent color is darker.
- Current multi-monitor configuration/profile is now saved on exit.
- Folder items set to open as menus can now be double clicked to open in an Explorer window instead.
- All the weather feeds now support HTTPS connections.
- Added new 'Light Mode' to the User Interface to match the new Windows 10 Light mode.
- When adding an URL item a default replacement icon is now used if the system does not have a usable class icon defined for HTML documents.
- By default screen edge bump activations are limited to the width of the dock to help prevent accidental activations. Added new 'Activate along entire screen edge' option to the Edge Bump Settings dialog to disable this behavior.
- Updated Windows 10 style User Interface icons.
- Added new 'Say the Time' option to the action taken when clicking on the clock module.
- The 'Winstep Multi Media Player' helper application (WsMMPlay.exe) is now also shutdown when the application exits, just in case it needs to be updated or removed.
- Sticky Notes UWP app in Windows 10 is now handled properly in the list of running applications and when pinning it to the dock
- The routine responsible for peeking window thumbnails could be interrupted, which could potentially crash the application with an array locked error and leave most windows only partially visible or not visible at all, which could only be fixed by a Windows restart.
- Asus GPU Tweak II is no longer affected by AeroPeek emulation as it does not restore properly afterwards.
- The selected text effect for floating labels set in the Label Settings dialog was not being applied, the label always used the Outline effect.
- NOAA's weather feed had stopped working because the web site now enforced HTTPS access and no longer supported HTTP access.
- Fixed issue where METAR current weather conditions could show only a single 'Possible' word if no weather phenonema was present.
- Under Windows 10 the sndPlaySound Windows API call used to play event sounds was leaking memory and an handle every time it was called (for instance, every time the hide/show sound was played). Fixed by adding the SND_SYSTEM flag which makes the sound be played by the system instead of from inside the application's own process space.
- Kb, Mb and Gb units shown throughout the application are now properly displayed as KB, MB and GB to prevent them from being confused with Kbits, Mbits and Gigabits.
- In Windows 10 it is no longer possible to capture the content of layered windows which resulted in all black thumbnails for icons of running applications.
- The next activation date of alarms set to go off yearly was not being correctly calculated
