Now, when I right click on the nexus dock, nothing appears for me after the update. Is there anything I can do to fix it?

Is that the free version of the Nexus dock?

I already know what this is, while I work on a real fix here is a quick mitigation: open Preferences, go to the Advanced tab, click the Power Saving Settings button, set Power Saving Mode to "Active". This should bring your menus back.

Got back into Win 10 today after all - curiosity killed... and all that. ;) Was going to update to 25.7. Alas, hadn't really used 25.6 much yet, and when I wanted to change theme Workshelf threw a major wobbly. Unfortunately can't do screenshots yet, not yet installed any s/w to edit them and whole screen would be a bit of overkill for just a couple of small dialogue boxes. (Haven't really installed anything here yet, setting up the Linux systems is priority right now.)

And now Workshelf isn't even trying to load anymore so can't even describe the previous error msgs. Anyway, I guess I'll have to try and roll back to the previous version when I can find the time. Got to leave here for now.

Already fixed the menu issue here, this is critical so going to issue a re-release through the Winstep Update Manager.

Can you please open Preferences (CTRL+F11), click the Check for Updates button and confirm the re-release fixes the issue?

Don't forget to set the Power Saving feature to off again.

Queerest thing happened - went into Win again Thurs. to install one of my GFX apps to do/edit screenshots, and nothing untoward happened! Could change themes all I liked, even after terminating Xtreme and restarting! Weird or what? Probably some intermittent fault I guess. So thank goodness was able to bugger off to deal with my Linux systems. :D

But another little problem seems to have surfaced in W10 with Xtreme 25.6. The 'Get IP Address' IC fails! 'Unable to get IP Address' or some such. Tried with a dozen different VPN connections, all with same result.

Open WorkShelf Preferences -> Advanced tab -> Troubleshooting Options -> Check Internet Connection.

What does it say?

Hahaha hehe hoo! LOL! Yeah, I thought I'd briefly look at that yesterday morning, remembering that option. But thanks anyway - solved the problem by re-enabling https! Vital here as all connections in all OSes are only allowed to use https. Suspect that may also have been at the root of Workshelf crashing.

Been beavering away tirelessly in Fedora all evening - greased lightning! :D As fast as Ubuntu. Just still not too happy with what they've done to Fedora's Gnome GUI over recent years, used to be much more convenient. C'est le vis! :P
