So, a few days after purchase: Windows 11 boots in 7 seconds (cold start), Nexus Dock appears 2 seconds later. Before, with ObjectDock 3, I had to wait almost a minute.
My taskbar is now almost without icons again, except for Edge Canary, Chrome Canary, and the MS Store, because Nexus also handles apps.

The only disadvantage so far: when you right‑click and edit an item, the dock is locked. So you can’t change 10 items at once - you have to: open, edit, close, next.

Well, and ‘auto‑hide taskbar’ should not be enabled by default after installing Nexus. At that moment you’re still setting up the dock, and it’s important to be able to click the Start Menu to drag programs into the docks.

Lots of features :D, but 100% configurable. :D

Now I’ll set up the same thing under Windows Server 2025 (not a normal server, just for testing the Server Insider as a second system on the same laptop).

Thanks to the developers for this brilliant software.

I think you mean "Hide the Windows Taskbar", and that is not enabled by default after installing Nexus. It is disabled by default, so Nexus does not automatically hide the Windows taskbar unless you deliberately enable that setting.

If what you want is to customize the icons of those items, here is the MUCH FASTER and MUCH SIMPLER way: open a folder with a collection of your icon images (ICO, PNG, TIF or WEBP format are all supported). Now drag the image file into the shortcut in the dock - it should start blinking indicating that it will accept that image as the new icon for that shortcut. Now drop and Bob’s your uncle. Just a quick drag & drop succession from now on and you will have customized all the icons in your dock in no time flat.
