Hi I've been using Nexus Ultimate for a few months now and overall have been happy with it. Since I got the program though, I've had issues with it not being able to reserve screen space when applications maximize, for both the shelf and the dock. When I try to use other programs or options to do it instead of using nexus methods, the dock and shelf don't seem to want to "always stay on top" as I've told them to in their preferences. I was able to get this to mostly work using a program called Desktop Coral, but I've been having alot of issues with games and other 3D apps crashing and I suspect it's that app doing it. So... now I'm back to trying to get Nexus do what it's preferences say it can do. Currently I've disabled the workshelf and have moved the dock on top of the Windows taskbar hoping that the taskbar might be able to keep maximized windows from overlapping the dock, but instead the dock goes behind it whenever I click on any other window.
What I would like is to have the Nexus dock on bottom of monitor 2 with screen space reserved and shelf on top of monitor 2 under the task bar. However, the dock is always covered up by maximized windows without the use of Desktop Coral and the shelf always wants to sit over and block access to anything on the taskbar including the windows start button. The shelf will still be covered up by maximized windows though as it can't reserve screen space for itself either.
On a semi-related note, I keep having issues with games and other windows losing focus and have suspected it was Nexus causing it, but have been unable to resolve it. I've turned off showing active application icons and disabled the option to show application thumbnails everywhere I could find the option to do so. I downloaded the Focus Tester you linked in another thread and will be watching it to verify whether it is Nexus doing it or not.
My system specs are: Windows 7 x64 Pro with Windows Classic theme Dual Monitor with taskbar on monitor 2 at top and sidebar on right edge of screen. Intel Core i7 920 Gigabyte EX58-UD5 12 GB DDR3 Ram GeForce GTX 570 Nvidia Driver 280.26

Network Meter Top Process (set to 5 processes @ 5 sec interval) Imp's Drive Info version 1.7.2
That's all the possible relevant I can think of.
I hope I can get this resolved as I really like this product alot. I use it primarily for quick access to other applications without having to hunt for them or minimize current applications to get to desktop shortcuts.
