I think DrJBHL is right, Jafo. Sorry. [e digicons]:([/e] [quote who="scharchuk" reply="56" id="2706292"]I had seen this over there and got it as well. Looks interesting, but...[/quote] Ah, inertia... Amazing how resistent to change people are. If you got it already, don't just 'look' at it... try it! [e digicons]|-)[/e]

Kind of normal, as Nexus, Nexus Ultimate, WorkShelf and NextSTART are all sub-sets of Winstep Xtreme. It's still amazing the alternate names people come up with: Nexus Xtreme, Xtreme Ultimate, Winstep Ultimate, Winshelf, Nextstep. Makes providing support for those products just a little bit more difficult, as you have to figure out what they are *actually* running, hehe. [e digicons]|-)[/e]

True, Jafo, but I remember reading somewhere that the Windows Experience Index was supposed to remain the same between Vista and Windows 7 (i.e.; in 7 they just increased the maximum score to catter for newer/faster machines). Of course, I never put this to the test, so...

You mean from the free Nexus version or from the Nexus Ultimate version you download from Giveaway of the Day? If the latter, you'll have to follow the instructions on the README file to register Nexus Ultimate first. Once it's registered, an 'Upgrade to Xtreme' button will appear in the About tab of Nexus Ultimate Preferences.

Just a quick reminder you still have 10 hours to get Nexus Ultimate for free - GAOTD users seem to be loving it (most software gets horrible ratings there, Nexus Ultimate, on the other hand, has 74% of thumbs up). Remember, this is a one-time thing only. It will probably never happen again.

Believe it or not, a handful of people had trouble entering the serial number (!). At least for those, the emailed serial was very useful indeed. Anyway, the bottom line of what I am saying is that you can trust Winstep with your email address (I *hate* spam as much as the next person, probably more as I get thousands of it every day, as you can probably imagine!) . Now, whether you actually decide to or not, it really is up to you. [e digicons]:)[/e]

To all those upgrading to Winstep Xtreme: Please don’t forget to uninstall Nexus Ultimate first. Since both programs share the same folder structures, themes, etc, (only the executables and some themes are different), you will corrupt your Winstep Xtreme installation if you try to uninstall later. This said, if you have already installed Xtreme on top of Nexus Ultimate, this is very easy to sort: 1. Make sure Nexus Ultimate is not running (exit it if it is).

Reply to Rightclick rewrite? in Stardock Support General WinCustomize Forums

Oh yeah, Powerpro! Wow, that brings back memories... That is actually the app that prompted me to create NextSTART. Me and John T.Folden couldn't get PowerPro sub-menus to emulate the NeXT OS look properly (although it was ok for the main menu), so I wrote a small app that would pop up a NeXT looking sub-menu when one clicked on a PowerPro menu. Since we wanted different sub-menus for each button in the main PowerPro menu, I also came up with the user-definable hotspots conc

[quote who="aufisch" reply="11" id="2694811"](Winstep is good, but too much for my needs)[/quote] Yes, using Xtreme just as a RightClick replacement is a bit of a waste of potential. On the other hand, Xtreme is very easy to use and also fully modular, which means you can turn everything you don't want to use off and use just its ability to create customized menus with the built-in Menu Editor, activating them via user-configured hotspots (such a

[quote who="LightStar" reply="161" id="2691280"]We need something that only allows the file to be used by the original purchaser. [/quote] You need to start treating master skins as applications and distributing unique serial numbers (built using RSA public/private key encryption so a keygen cannot be made) with each master skin sold. Part of the serial would be a code that identified the skin and thus that serial would only work with that particular skin

[quote who="Neil Banfield" reply="21" id="2688841"]I am curious if there would be a demand for a possible option to use a similar system for master theme protection as is currently used for some MyColors themes? The downside would be the users would be unable to modify the graphics themselves other than using the recolouring and texturing features built into WindowBlinds. [/quote] I was thinking about this. One way to solve this problem would be to have
