Betas of v26.6 are out:

Winstep Xtreme beta:
https://www.winstep.net/xtreme-beta.zip

Nexus Ultimate beta:

Nexus free beta:
https://www.winstep.net/nexus-beta.zip

This is a beta and MUST be installed ON TOP of a full v26.4 OR LATER installation. Do NOT uninstall anything first, just exit all running Winstep applications and run the beta setup file.

There is no need to backup your settings first, but it does not hurt if you do either.

I’ve added the extended‑width dock background option, but the main focus of this beta is the overhaul of the weather feeds.

We’ve transitioned from the old Weather.com location codes to a latitude/longitude system. The internal locations database has been updated accordingly, removing the legacy Weather.com codes and replacing them with coordinate‑based entries.

Because of this change, a large portion of the weather code has been rewritten. In theory, the migration should be seamless: your existing weather location should automatically resolve its correct latitude and longitude. This is the most important thing I need you to test - please confirm that your location picked up the proper coordinates, and report immediately if it didn’t.

To replace the now‑obsolete Weather.com field in the Weather Settings panel, there is a new “Get Coordinates” button.

If your location didn’t automatically acquire valid coordinates, this button may fix it. Note that the coordinates returned by the button may differ slightly from those stored in the internal database - this is normal, and the differences are too small to affect the actual weather data.

The button is also useful for locations not included in the internal database. Just type your city name (after selecting the correct country and state, if applicable) and click the button to retrieve its coordinates.

With this change, the internal database becomes more of a convenience feature rather than a strict requirement, since it no longer needs to store Weather.com codes.
