This public beta 2 preview release adds a lot of the features requested by users of the first Nexus public beta and should fix all the bugs found on that release too.

1 - Download the 9.6 public beta 2 preview from

http://www.winstep.net/nexus-beta.zip

2 - Exit any running Winstep applications.

3 - Run NexusSetup.exe

Note:

This setup includes all the files necessary for a clean installation of Nexus.

If you are running Winstep Xtreme and you want to try this release of Nexus, you can install it without fear of damaging your current Winstep Xtreme installation, but you MUST NOT UNINSTALL it via Add/Remove Programs afterwards. The later will DAMAGE your Winstep Xtreme installation. You can simply delete Nexus.exe once you are finished playing with it.

Major New Features:

Icon spacing.
Running indicators.
Icon Locking.
Optional full right click context menus.
Ability to rename modules/docklets.
Container folders of shortcuts in the dock can be browsed via the right click context menu.
Customizable left, middle and right click actions for list of running programs.
Faster startup time.
Three more languages supported: Spanish, Swedish, Farsi.
... and more!

The major reason this is still a preview release of public beta 2 is because the text of some of the new features must still be translated into other languages and the Help file updated.

Please do NOT post news of this release outside this board. A proper public announcement will be made for public beta 2 as soon as it is ready.

Feature suggestions and all constructive criticism are greatly appreciated.

Enjoy,

excellent. Any way to use this in conjunction with Winstep Extreme? I'm asusming I'd need to create new docs and disable/remotv ones that run attached to Workshelf?

There's no need to. A new beta of WorkShelf incorporating all the above features should be released later today.

Keep coming back and checking.... any update on ETA for a fresh build ?

Code itself is done, but I want this release to include the full English text language file so translation work can start - and that is what is taking a little bit longer to finish.
