Hiya everyone, hope you are all well, I am new to Winstep Extreme, and I was just wondering if at all possible, how to change the icons in the Nexus dock shelf, I read that you just drag the PNG file onto the particular icon and the icon will change, but all that happens is I create a new addition to the shelf, any help would be appreciated on this subject.
Thank you
The Thug :?: :?: :?: :?:

You just need to right click on the current icon, goto Properties (or dock item properties...or something like that) and you will see the option to change the icon.

When you drag & drop the PNG file, you have to make sure the mouse pointer itself (i.e. the tip of the arrow) is right above the target, as close to the center of the icon as possible.

If you drop a PNG or ICO file in the space between icons, it will simply be added to the dock/shelf as any other item, which is what was happening to you.

Also, remember that you cannot change the icons of in-dock and in-shelf modules (i.e. clock, recycler, net/cpu/ram meters, etc...). Images for those items come from the current theme.
