[JcRabbit]

Winstep has released Nexus v10.4 (and Nexus Ultimate v10.4). The Winstep Nexus Dock is a FREE professional dock for Windows. With Nexus, your most frequently used applications are only a mouse click away - and Nexus turns working with your computer into a FUN and enjoyable experience once again.

Nexus includes every feature you?d expect from a dock, including widgets, mouse-over effects, skins, drag-and-drop, and even others not available in most other docks, such as live icon reflections, in-dock system tray, Vista Aero Glass effects, and much more. Completely customizable, Nexus has thousands of backgrounds freely available online and is fully compatible with skins for all 3rd party docks.

Nexus Ultimate is an enhanced, multi-dock, multi-level version of the free-to-use Nexus dock which is available stand-alone and as a component of Winstep Xtreme, a single easy-to-install package featuring all our popular desktop enhancement products for Windows.

Nexus is free. Nexus Ultimate is $24.95 and adds, besides multiple docks and multi-level sub-docks, a powerful tabbed dock able to display not only regular shortcuts as well as virtual folders such as the Control Panel, Desktop, My Computer, etc..., and even file system folders of your choice. With Nexus Ultimate your whole computer is literally only a single mouse click away!

Are able to use multiple docks at once, or will that remain a paid feature?

Hi LiquidSolstice! :)

As I stated in the 10.3 release thread, multiple docks and sub-docks are only available in the paid versions and will likely remain so. The good news in relation to that thread is that now you can also upgrade to Nexus Ultimate if you don't need all the bells and whistles of Winstep Xtreme.

Supporting multiple docks and an infinite level of nested sub-docks, Nexus Ultimate also gives you a tabbed dock (the Shelf) which, besides regular shortcuts, is able to display the contents of any folders in your hard drive and virtual shell folders such as the Desktop, My Computer, Control Panel, etc...
