Dock[s]: since the update at hover over an item [icon] the description text now is horrifically ugly: bright yellow [bold] on a black background. Not only ugly but hard to read. I have winstep since many years and am familiar with every modification/customization possible - but this one has me at a loss.

Even importing a saved file did not change this one.
I changed the font to just white, no bold, no yellow no black background -
I very much hat this now.

Plus I have a second dock [both my docks are stationary [one on top and one on the left of my screen]this one also ignores my choice of "not to bounce when opening].
I don't understand why this is so complicated now.
Appreciate a resolve.
I would not have updated if I this is a common problem now. I was just fine with my old version.

Hope to have an answer soon for this.

What version were you running previously? Nexus Ultimate or Winstep Xtreme?

Also, can you please post a screenshot showing the bright yellow label text on a black background (press the PRTSCR key to capture a screenshot of your desktop to your clipboard if you find it difficult, then open a paint program, paste the image in the clipboard to it and save it as JPG)?

Anyway, from what I understood by reading your older posts, the version you were running previously was VERY OLD, i.e.; dating back to 2012?

There have been literally hundreds of changes and additions made to Winstep applications since then - this is what you get for not keeping up-to-date: feature shock. :wink:

I always used Ultimate.

The countless updates - I get.
But it actually asked me to "fresh install. That is what I then wound up doing and using the new key.
And 2012 is not correct it was actually 2014. Does not make much difference - fact is it was way outdated. I was on hiatus due to several heart attacks, and had zero use for a computer during this entire time.

I am back now, and paid. Upgraded.
It still should be able to respect the font at least. Nowhere do I ever have "bold" enabled, not in the theme or the custom areas, preferences etc.

All I need is just a proper suggestion what to do.

Sorry to hear about that, must have been a really scary time. :( Glad you're doing better now, though. :)

You mention it as if that was a bad thing? :D

And I need the screenshot I asked you about above to make sure we are on the same page. :)
