On the other hand, you can already (i.e. in the next release) right click on folder menus and sort them by name, type, date created, date modified and size (ascending and descending).

You mean in the upcoming release or latest one, as I can't find it anywhere in current version. Is there any release date planned for next version or is there a beta version available to download?

BTW I've another suggestion to make, or maybe rather a question as well - is it just me that doesn't know how to handle this automatically, but when I move dock from bottom to left side, I need to change indicator every time when I want to have indicator always close to the edge of the screen. I know I can have indicators below the icons every time I change dock position, but I don't want that.

Upcoming release. Release should be soon (as in next week or so).

Indicators by default are always set to be bellow (at the base of) the icons even in vertical docks. Try opening the dock properties window, navigating to the Appearance tab, clicking the Indicator Offset button and then clearing the 'Always at the base of the icon' checkbox.

This said, I wrote that part of the code many years ago and from what I have just tried right now, it seems a bit buggy when "always at the base of the icon" is not set as I do not see the running indicator for vertical docks on the right side of the screen. Will have to look deeper into this.

This is good news. Well done for supporting this project for many years.

I would like to see an option for a default Windows 10 and Windows 11 theme. I really like Winstep Xtreme but I am getting tired of themes.

Well, I don't usually do themes, users do, but have you tried DarkTech already? If you use dark mode in Windows it is pretty similar (and what I use here all the time, I don't really care about themes either).

I used DarkTech for a long time when I first got Winstep Xtreme.

Maybe JCRabbit will come out of retirement. :wink:

I played around with WebGizmos Naked1 theme and this is what I came up with.

It would also be nice if I could combine the Winstep Start Menu with the Start Grid Stack that I created. The two of them together would make a great Start Menu replacement. Maybe that's a new feature for the future.

Unfortunately that is the extent of my theming abilities. Maybe someone will take that idea and run with it.

I've made a theme that resembles default Windows 11 theme, it was fairly easy, but only for dock, as theming context menu is so cumbersome. I'm getting lost with all these properties in winstep theme config file.
