Hi. I recently purchased Winstep Nexus Ultimate, and my most sincere congratulations to Jorge for his fantastic software. :D

Only one problem. I also downloaded the 1,000 dock tile bonus pack (nxtilepak), and I tried to install it but seems that the installation doesn't work, because there is no "Tiles" item in the docks properties panel or under themes items.

Even there is no "Tiles" folder in the path
C:\Users\Public\Documents\Winstep

However, a "Tiles" folder exists in the path
C:\Users\Public\Documents\Winstep\NeXuS

My OS is Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit with Service Pack 1

Can you help? :?:

Best regards

Actually, the tiles should get installed in the C:\Users\Public\Winstep\Nexus\Tiles\ directory. To select, you'll have to open the settings dialogue, go to the "Themes" tab, and then from the pull-down menu on the left, select "Tiles".

Having said that, however, I have to point out that most of those tiles aren't exactly... well... how should I put it... "top notch artwork", if you get my drift.
Maybe they were, way back when, but to use tiles now? Well, let's say, I wouldn't. There are much, much better-looking themes out there.
So, if you don't get that working... no biggie...

Hi, Skagon, thank for the response.

Checking from the pull-down menu in the Themes tab, there is no "Tiles" item.

However, I understand your doubts, and actually I was just curious to see this package of tiles. Normally, as graphic designer, I prefer to build my themes and icons.

Have a nice evening.

You can go to the folder the tiles are in to see them. Some of them are fairly decent, however...

Right click on the Nexus bar and choose "dock properties."
The window that appears has a "Themes" tab on the far right, choose that. On the drop down, on the left, there is a "Tiles" option.

Hi, Warewolf,
thanks for your explanation.

It's my fault :roll: , because I was looking for the entry "Tiles" under the Dock Properties but without click on "Dock properties" item. Clicking on this item I finally managed to find the correct window "Themes" and the combo-box with the "Tiles". :)

Thanks again, and best regards.

Hi Skagon,
I realized that you referring to the settings dialogue window from systray, and I could not find the "Tiles" item in the "Themes" tab. But, anyway, I thanked you. :wink:

Hmph... you said "thanks for the response" to me, but "thanks for the explanation" to him. I got the short end of the stick.
Hmph...

You do realise I'm just pulling your leg, right? :P
