I want to see some more modules, like a GPU meter. And what about a Metro Theme? Maybe a theme to match Sardock's Win8 Metro Skin.

Thx,

Tom

Sorry, I don't think you will ever have a GPU meter module as that is way too specialized (there are differences from manufacturer to manufacturer and even from video card to video card), other than, perhaps, based on information provided by 3rd party monitoring software such as AIDA64 (former Everest).

As for themes, you'll have to ask theme authors about that. But... a Metro theme? Metro is so damn ugly!!! :wink:

Too bad that there will be no GPU meter but its ok with me. I'm using AIDA64 but i like the speedometer style you know :wink:

Ok i will ask someone on WinCustomize to do a Winstep Metro Theme.

Thank you Jorge

I haven't gotten to the phase where I'll start adding new modules like there is no tomorrow yet (and I have plenty of ideas for new modules in my to-do list), but when I do I'll eventually consider making one that gets video card data (and probably CPU temperature as well) from AIDA64 (which I use too) - they have a built-in mechanism that allows for that.

Unfortunately such a module would always have to rely on a 3rd party solution such as AIDA64 to get the actual data because, as I stated, each different video card/chipset does things differently, and they're the ones specializing on hardware monitoring - I don't, nor do I have the time to.

I guess you didn't answer me about multiple shelves because you already said it was in the to-do list and you are fed-up with answering questions that were already answered. I used the "search" feature and typed "multiple shelves".

Actually I failed to see your reply because this thread wrapped to the next page, sorry. You're right about the fact that clicking on the open tab also collapses the Shelf, I had forgotten about that (and I'm the one making this software, sigh! lol).

Ok no problem ! In the auto-hide menu I choose "manually by clicking the corresponding mini-tab" but there could be an option like "never" or "only by clicking the upper right button".

It gets my vote too.

By the way, Shelf Subdocks Drag & Drop is now working like a charm. Thank you very much !

I bought Nexus Ultimate.

I just want the weather module to work. It stopped working, started working again after a update and 2 days ago it died once more. What is going on?

I just replied to you on the other thread you started.

Option to "Always show icon lables" regardless of mouseover in both Horizontal & Vertical orientation.

This can be above or below the existing option of "Show icon labels on mouse over"

Hope this make sense.

Docks by definition have no permanent labels. If you want permanent labels use a NextSTART menu instead, or even the Shelf. :wink:
