I was under the impression you had already upgraded to Nexus Ultimate, though?

If you don't use any of the paid versions, how could you claim that the fix to the "minimize windows to the dock" wasn't working in the latest beta? I did not release a beta for the free version.

I'd use at least five if not more of available ICs, but knowing I have to pin each of them to dock as separate items doesn't look appealing anymore.


Again, one more reason to run Nexus Ultimate rather than the free version. That way you could add either a sub-dock or a grid stack to the main dock and pin those 5 ICs there instead of to the main dock. 5 for the price of one. :D

I've installed Xtreme beta version on the fresh Xtreme installation, which allows for 30 days use for free.

I found such a suggestion in the Languages -WorkShelf-folder section with files in Russian. Buy me a Beer=Купи мне пива. It wasn't my idea. It's official! :o :lol: :P

More of a useful addition rather than a request.

Jorge, if you intend to update the gallery at some point, after using the search and scrolling, it might be worth considering having some kind of sub-navigation theme list(s) by Skinner author so if your intent is to be public, people can view by a list of contributing authors for convenience.

There is already a "Search by Author" option on the gallery. Just switch the combo box from "Name" to "Author"

I was thinking it would be nice to Immortalize Authors who got it all going who are no longer with us like Webgizmos.

Do not block the dock; right-click and edit the item

Jorge forgive me if you have already said it can't.
I believe a lot of people really love how winstep remembers where the docks were when you last moved them even if you haven't used a particular theme for a while.
Can this same location ability be done with the NEXUS bar? So if you put it top, bottom, left, right etc, if you go back a month later, it will be where you put it in a particular theme?
I think I may have already asked this and apologies if so.

Themes control appearance, while the dock’s position is a property of the dock itself. Returning to an old theme will therefore not restore the position the dock happened to occupy when that theme was previously used - nor should it.

Otherwise, simply changing the appearance of a dock could unexpectedly make it jump to another edge of the screen. It would become especially problematic with multiple docks, since the same theme can be applied to several docks positioned in different places. Which position should that theme then remember?

The only reason desktop module positions are stored separately for each theme is that modules are free-form and can have dramatically different sizes and shapes between themes. A position suitable for one module design might cause another to overlap other modules or appear partly off-screen. Docks do not have that problem, so tying their positions to themes would create confusing behavior without solving a practical issue.

I actually understood all of that. :lol: :lol: :lol: Sorry just giving myself shit.
Doing themes and then you explaining why certain behaviors occur as a result of windows and/or independence or lack of independence over the last year has made a lot of things far more logical and also has made what I do easier, so thanks.
