Hi Skagon. Thanks for the reply & especially the 'elsewhere' link! :wink:
A wink back to you!

Add an option to a "Show Folder" tab to allow a new path to be added to it. For example on the same Show Folder tab, have c:\marty_c, d:\marty_d.

I know this can be done using a folder of links to other folders, but you have to create a new link in that folder for the new path each time.

I use Internet Explorer on full screen(F11) mode and Nexus Dock with "always below other windows" option and edge activation enabled.

It gets annoying that everytime i need to use the dock i must exit full screen.

Would it be possible to activate the dock even on full screen for the applications that i choose ?

Add shadow to nexus ultimate docks. Not the icons, the dock itself. Because when you activate blurr effect on a dock whith a bg image that already has shadow, it automatically blurs the shadow as well, making it look weird :mrgreen:

That, or limiting the area where the blurr can be added to the background image via skin config file.

Judging by your answer, I believe you already understand why the dock does not activate by design when a full screen application (such as a game) is running.

Adding per-application exceptions is adding another layer of complexity to this, and would be a lot of work. Sorry for stating the obvious, by why don't you just run IE maximized instead of full screen? :wink:

By changing the Blur Settings of a particular theme (Preferences -> Themes -> Blur Settings *or* Dock Properties -> Effects -> Blur Effect Settings) you can fine tune the blurring function so shadows are not blurred together with semi-transparent parts.

Nexus Ultimate already tries to do this automatically (i.e.; ignore edge shadows when blurring), but it's not perfect so in certain themes the shadows will get blurred.

My computer is connected to the TV in the living room with 1152x684(custom) resolution and things tend to get too big while browsing the web.
My wife plays "candy crush saga" on facebook and game screen gets cut if i don't set full screen for example.

If it's too complex to do with applications, you could at least support internet browsers or just I.E. that every computer has.

1. Is there a way to show Windows Preview Thumbnais on mouseover for the current dock items (Nexus) when available, like when the "Show running applications" option is checked?

Say i have "pinned" firefox to the dock. When FF is running it will have the indicator, and if i hover the mouse over the icon, it will show its corresponding windows (say main window, and downloads window).
And say i have spotify also "pinned". When it is running on background (aka went to tray/ no visible window), it will only show the indicator but NOT the Preview Thumbnail.

2. Is there a way to add middle click option to close any "pinned" application. Same way the "Task List Actions" work with middle click. Say i want to close FF directly from dock without going through menus or opening the window.

I have a couple of suggestions to fix a problem when remoting in a machine running nexus, where due to the connection speed, the animations can slow the session to a crawl & do not render properly.
I could just disable animations but, I want them when I am working directly on the PC.
It could be fixed by either:
A. Have an option to disable animations when the PC is being run via RDP
or
B. Have an option to change theme when PC is running via RDP

Please, add an option that shrinks selection field to actual icon size.

Now, when I move cursor even on a pixel from bottom edge, it selects icon above. This behavior leads to often misclicks, because visually cursor is hovering above dock, not an icon itself.

Very new at this so if it is there please post. Would like to see the CPU usage & Temperature for the CPU preferably on each core.

Also like to see GPU Temperatures. If running multiple GPUs need to show temps for individule or multiple GPUs.

Frame Rates would be great.

Need to be able to view from desk top and or while bench testing or gaming.

What you are asking is impossible. Winstep isn't a hardware monitoring programme. The only way to do it, would be a plug-in to a dedicated hardware monitoring programme, like AIDA64 or CoreTemp or GPU-Z.
While benching, you'd be much better off running the absolute minimum; i.e. just the bench and CoreTemp and nothing else, not even Winstep.
When you're making a request, think of the issues before you post.

Wasnt sure if it was possible or not that is why I asked? I do run AIDA64 or CoreTemp or GPU-Z when over clocking the system and test stability with Linx.

Thanks for the advice well taken.

Well its been almost a year since my last wish list post and still wishing for a VDM, especially since I have migrated to 64 bit W7 and SD's vdm wont run on it. :shock:
I'll try out Dexpot but would really love your solution Jorge.
How 'bout it?
:D

more like "any chance of getting a new release, a new beta, or the theme builder?"
