Now that v25.6 is out of the way, it's that time of the year again...

For next release there are two major things I want to tackle:

1. Multi-session modules under Nexus Ultimate and Winstep Xtreme, so you can have clocks showing different time-zones, weather modules showing the weather in different locations, etc... This also opens the way to new module types that only make sense if multi-session modules are possible (e.g. drive meters, etc)

This feature will be a ton of work and will require a lot of code re-writing, but after the amount of work that adding per-monitor DPI scaling support to Winstep applications involved, I am not scared anymore

2. Bring back basic system icon functionality to the tray under Windows 11, instead of a single sad little cog icon.

Microsoft under Windows 11 made sure 3rd party applications can no longer access the tray icons in the Explorer process with their XMAL Islands mania, so what needs to be done is come up with functional replacements for at least the main system icons.

I am thinking volume control, battery, and network.

3. Restore WIN + D functionality. I don't use it, so I keep forgetting about this (although you can achieve the same thing by setting the dock to always on top).

One more thing that the developers at Microsoft did not care to maintain backwards compatibility with.

Phew, that's a real shedload of a sh*tload of work ahead then - kudos for taking it on Jorge! Hope you're not working in the current heat though and having all-day siestas and lots of fluids. Water's best in these conditions. Experienced 50+ degrees myself a few times when I was young - we'll get there in Europe soon enough thanks to what we did to the climate!

Bah, temperatures are quite normal for this time of the year, people have short memories... I've experienced much worse DECADES ago (like 40C + days).

Anyway, this said, good thing I have the AC running in the office lol

One of the TV channels here - I forget which one - pronounced parts of southern Portugal basking in 46C Monday. Lucky if it wasn't that bad your way.

Ooh yeah, AC - nice, could use that here. That said, alas, AC further contributes to the climate catastrophe of course so not so good. Anyway, the stated aim of keeping global temperature rise to 1.5% above pre-industrial average by 2050 will already be surpassed within the next 3 or so years! We are well and truly totally f***ed. But, it serves the incredibly stupid human race right. Only pity is that it affects all other life forms just as badly or worse.
