  • Does nexus dock consumes less RAM than rocket dock ???????? or what ?? need help//

  • @TheNewbie27 Depends on what effects you turn on, what dock background image you are using, and many other factors, obviously. This said, if your system has so little RAM that this has to be a concern, perhaps it's time to buy a new PC. I sincerely don't understand questions about dock's RAM usage these days: do you realize that the web browser you are using to read this uses *5* times more RAM than *any* of the available docks just to display a *single* web page?

  • Nice video, made me try out the product and it works great! I missed having a second toolbar in Windows 7 and seems these docks are the way to go now.

  • @4kWretcheD apparently not, i found a way even tho it wasnt as obvious as one would think... :D

    right click, dock entry properties, change icon :)

    btw nice video

  • Is it possible to change the clock icon ?

  • is it better if you replace your toolbar with nexus ? or ?? ...

  • @kcinkcinkcinnick Up to you. Use it instead of the Windows taskbar or together with it.

  • @JcRabbit yes but how can i change it ? my desktop is with bump top so if i remove the taskbar there's an opening where it used to be so ...

  • @kcinkcinkcinnick What Nexus version are you using? The latest is v11.2.

  • @JcRabbit - Does it have a Stack Docklet like Rocketdock? (set a stack docklet icon to a folder, clicking that icon will open a black box with icons representing the shortcuts contained in that folder).

  • @WiiClassic2usb Nexus doesn't currently have a *native* Stacks docklet, although you can use Cris'n'Soft stand alone Stacks with it. Native Stacks support is high on the to-do list because of the eye-candy, but note that, functionality wise, the Nexus Ultimate version already features nested sub-docks, which are similar (e.g.; instead of shortcut that shows the contents of a folder, you can categorize your applications into multiple sub-docks).

  • @JcRabbit - Right now I run Win XP Pro with RD and Emerge Desktop and I really like it like that using the Dock to get to stuff and NO icons blocking my BG and my nice movable systray, task tray and clock, at some point I may upgrade to Win7 (the whole Vsync within the Desktop has me jealous), but if I do that I'll lose RD because it's not 64bit compatible (yet?), so I'll give Nexus a look. If Nexus ever does add stack support, it'd be great if you could change color for the stack box.

  • @WiiClassic2usb RocketDock *is* compatible with Windows x64, even though they don't say that anywhere. It's one of the best docks, but development on it stopped over 2 years ago. Nexus, on the other hand, is in constant development (v11.5 is about to be released, by the way, give that a look). This said, the free version of Nexus will not support a native version of Stacks, you'll need Nexus Ultimate for that. Or you can use Cris'n'Softs stand alone Stacks in the free version, as I mentioned.

  • ohhhh q musica es la de tu videooo n.n!!!!

  • I like these but it use way to much resources

  • @IcebertGproductions Stop enabling all effects at the same time then. ;-)

    And while you are at it, do another experiment: open the Windows Task Manager, go to the Processes tab and compare Nexus memory usage to how much your web browser of choice (be it IE, FF, Chrome, etc) is using to render a single web page - then get back to me so we can discuss resource usage again. :-P

  • what if i want to minimize to the dock. how would i do that?

  • @willman1661 If the dock is attached to a screen edge (docked) just double click the Nexus control icon and it will slide out of view into the screen edge (just like a auto-hide Windows taskbar). Just like it too, bumping the screen edge with your mouse pointer brings it back. If the dock is floating, double clicking the control icon makes it collapse into a single Nexus control icon. Double clicking that icon expands it again.

  • were did you get that awsome back ground?

  • Nexus Dock Is Superb!Screw ObjectDock!

  • @OFFICIALGREEKHDMUSIC

    I am starting to feel a need for a change too. I got ObjectDock on my desktop but for some reason on my Lenovo laptop running windows 7 64-bit it seems to not work correctly. Does this use up a lot of resources as compared to ObjectDock? I like ObjectDock, but need an alternative since it doesn't work right on my laptop.

  • mi tuto esta mejor(entren)

  • La canción es una auténtica maravilla y el vídeo también está muy bien.enhorabuena.

  • La canción es una auténtica maravilla y el video tambien está muy bien.enhorabuena.

  • La canción es una auténtica maravilla y el vídeo también, enhorabuena.

  • Hey comrade, how is the name of music in your video? thanks

  • @foxobled If I only had a nickel for everybody that asks the same question, over and over - just read the video's description, it's right there. :-P

  • Oceanlab, good choice.

  • Nice video,.. ^_^ hmmm by the way may i ask something?? hmm how come everytime i use/click something (ex.GOOGLE CHROME) on my nexus dock suddenly it hides.. even though the AUTO HIDE is not clicked :( pls pls pls pls help

  • I need an restart NeXus function. Everytime when the Windows Explorer (Win7 64bit) crashes I have to restart Nexus because the Traybar-Favicons are gone... Please fix that...

  • @DerParadonym I think you have bigger problems if Windows Explorer crashes on you on a Windows 7 system. I can't remember the last time I saw Explorer crash.

  • hey..can you send me the wallpaper...its nice...

  • @89Panadol the wallpaper comes with the Nexus dock. In the Themes tab of Nexus Preferences, switch the combo box from 'Themes' to 'Wallpapers'.

  • @JcRabbit ohh...ok..thank you...

  • me encanto la cancion... i like this song... gracias...

  • @CoolSeaMonkeys Nexus v10.8, about to be released, has this feature - and turns the tasklist section of the dock into a 'Win7' superbar too.

  • @CoolSeaMonkeys That taskbar mode/feature (as well as other Windows 7 "superbar" features) is scheduled for the next release. :-)

    So keep your eyes open! ;-)

  • does this have category setting. plz tell me. :(

    i own delldock and i only use that cause it has categories. :S plz reply

  • @Danerd9 Not the free version. Nexus Ultimate does, however, and it also features a Shelf (tabbed dock) which you can use to categorize your items and access folder in your hard drive, Control Panel, Desktop, etc...

    Just visit in the Winstep web site for more information - you'll be glad you did, trust me. :-)

  • @ROBBIGO63 If you installed Nexus, you have it already too. In the Themes tab of Nexus Preferences, change the combo box from 'Themes' to 'Wallpapers' - you will now be able to apply the wallpapers that come with some of the themes.

  • will this slow down my pc lol im not kidding i like tip top performance

    Xfx 5770 core @ 960mhz mem 1445mhz

    4gb ram

    amd athlon ii x2 @ 2.9 ghz (fail) xD

    plz answer plz plz plz i subed =)

  • @reeceTHEmelter123 Nexus is very light on resources, so any performance hit is usually negligible. You can run Nexus without any problems on Pentium II machines at 150 MHz or even less. Note, however, that the amount of processing power used will depend mainly on the effects you have enabled and on the complexity of the theme you are using. A theme that uses a lot of animations will obviously be more processor intensive than one that has none.

  • nexus takes up a lot of ram

  • @holyfire1993 What do you call 'a lot of RAM'?

    Actual memory usage is mainly dependent on the current theme and how many objects you have open at the same time, as bitmaps need to be stored in memory. There is also a trade off between memory usage and performance, since some things need to be cached in memory to improve performance. You can, if you want, balance performance vs. memory usage yourself in the Advanced tab of Nexus Preferences by clicking on the Performance Settings button.

  • i love it!! :D

  • as it is called the song of your video?, THX, for anwer

  • in windows 7 this doesn't seem to be of any need

  • @RhavoX That's like saying the Quick Launch area makes docks unnecessary. :)

    The Superbar, nice as it is, is no match to a full fledged dock.

  • @JcRabbit ok why it is no match? Except fancy animations it doesn't add more functionality.

  • @RhavoX As if the eye candy effects weren't enough reason!

    Anyway, you're still thinking of a dock purely as a taskbar. It's not, it's much more than that, especially Nexus.

  • @RhavoX Just to give you a quick example, Nexus provides special widgets such as a CPU and Net Meters, Weather and Email monitors... It has over 80 userful Internal Commands that you can add to the dock to the useful stuff like emptying the Recycle Bin, Opening and Closing CD ROM doors, taking a screenshot of your desktop and saving it automatically, power off your monitor. Nexus Ultimate also allows you to categorize related groups of applications into sub-docks, etc...

  • @RhavoX Anyway, the new Youtube sucks and keeps giving me an error when I try to post a new full comment, which is why I'm splitting them up.

    I don't have enough space here to give you a full list of features and reasons why Nexus is so much better than a taskbar, even a glorified one - just download Nexus, read the included User Guide, try it out for a while and then get back to me at the Winstep support if you still want to fully discuss it.

  • uhhmm last question pls ?? .. uhmm how o add themes ??

  • @vishiko05 what's your big problem about going to the Winstep forums and asking your questions there? It's free! :-P Here I can't even post links because YouTube doesn't accept them in comments, and right now it just returns 'Error, Try Again'.

  • oh i fix now ,, i re-install that ,, and it works :D .. sorry

  • hey ? .. i hav a new problem , when i click start menu in dock it opens preferences , why ??

  • @vishiko05 Again, this is not the place for tech support. Go to the Winstep web site and click on 'Forums', or write to the Winstep support address.

    The Start Menu icons runs an Internal Command, while playing with the dock you probably changed it, therefore instead of opening the Windows Start Menu it does something else.

  • i try 100x , :( ,, uhhmm by the way , it has a expiration ?

  • @vishiko05 Nexus is free and, as such, does not expire. Winstep Xtreme is shareware, so yes, it does stop working after the 30 day trial period - unless you register before. Well worth the small price, as I'm sure you agree by now.

  • wat it means ?

  • @vishiko05 Means exactly what it says. Apparently you're not running Nexus, you're running Winstep Xtreme, and the Start Menu icon of the dock in Xtreme is trying to launch the main NextSTART menu (as NextSTART replaces the Windows taskbar). Since you're obviously not running NextSTART, it fails with that warning. Either run NextSTART or replace the Start Menu icon with a 'Start Menu' internal command.

  • hey dude ,, when i click start menu on dock it said >> sorry nextstart is either not running or is an incompatible version

  • @vishiko05 Test, this thing is giving me an 'Error, Try Again'. YouTube is going down the tubes. Anyway, this is not the place for tech support, head over to the Winstep forums.

  • it works on 32 bit ?

  • @vishiko05 , yes, 32 *and* 64 bit.

  • Does anybody knows if it's possible to create 2 docks and use them at same time in different positions? Thanks.

  • @Unknow23 , Not with the free Nexus version. You can either upgrade to Xtreme or wait a week and upgrade to Nexus Ultimate, which supports multiple docks, as many multi-level sub-docks as you want, and an optional tabbed dock on steroids.

  • la cancion????

  • @jonathanelias26 Read the Info section.

  • please tell me where do u got your wallpaper on the deskt i really like it

  • @mothekiller1 Comes with Nexus and Winstep Xtreme. In the Themes tab in Nexus Preferences, change the combo box from 'Themes' to 'Wallpapers'.

  • i like this doc ^^

    the song is good as well but not the main part imo ;)

    copyrights bähh :p

    free web 4 all like the NEXUS doc ^_^

  • ... you just have to use copyrighted song arent you? flag

  • @MultiTail So? Youtube has deals with the major labels just so we *can* use copyrighted soundtracks. The labels are not losing any money, trust me.

    In fact, they should be the ones paying YouTube and not the other way around: this video alone has exposed what was a relativelly unknown band and soundtrack to over 140,000 people! Just look at the number of comments asking for the name of this song (which, by the way, is spelled out at the bottom of the information section above).

  • @JcRabbit True that , but if you listen to trance you would know the "band" :P

  • @MultiTail So who in the fuck are you? the Copyright Fucking Police????

  • wat is the name of song ?

  • Name of song

  • @Reuelgt56 Check the more information sidebar at the right, it's in there. :-)

  • Hey there, nice vid! i was wondering what is that fish icon on the dock?

  • It's the Wanda module. Gives you funny 'fortune cookies' when you click on it.

  • @JcRabbit Nice! thank m8 :D

  • what name of song

  • @The3252, Click the more info link at the right. :-P

  • Is there a way to add a complete package of themes then just one by one?

  • Actually there is. Put all your theme zip and xtreme files inside the AutoInstall folder (My Documents -> Winstep -> AutoInstall) and then restart the program.

    Normally you would be able to do this directly without having to exit the application (the app would auto-detect themes in the AutoInstall folder when you clicked the Import button), but when I added the new User Interface I forgot about this feature. It will be back in the next version.

  • Is there a site where I can d/l a package, which includes more then just 1 theme?

  • No because themes are usually made by different authors and are therefore not packaged together. Just download the themes you like best, one by one, saving them into the AutoInstall folder, and then apply the method described above.

  • pretty good gadget! very simple and works without any problems!

  • all this needs is system tray

  • Comming up shortly! :-)

  • @cmoney1928, there is a private beta of Nexus 10.2 on the Winstep forums with system tray support. Head over there. :-)

  • thx man for the video

  • ROCKETDOCK IS BETTER

  • I'm with version 9-12 and was wondering how do I for more themes?

    Estou com a versão de 9.12 e queria saber como faço para por mais temas?

  • Comment removed

  • Thanks for answering. I know that because of it's free, there is no wishlist, but, I would like that it would be possible open a folder in grid view, and, like the standalone stacks, open subfolders into the same grid.

    I already have tried this with Standalone stacks, but, when you have 7 different stacks it uses a lot o ram, what's more, it is almost always too slow, even, sometimes fails and nothing is opened whwn you click the shortcuts.

    I'll keep on eye on your release. Thanks ;)

  • Who said there is no wishlist? ;-)

    Since the Nexus free version is supported by the sales of Winstep Xtreme, please feel free to wish away. :-)

  • Hi JcRabbit! Please tell me: ¿The next free version of Nexus will include its own Stacks docklet?¿Will be possible open folders and subfolders in a grid view?. I hope it''s true, since Winstep Xtreme is much more than I need, I mean I only use the dock because all the extra stuff is already available in Windows, Anyway, is a great tuning software. Thanks in advance ;)

  • Yes, Nexus will eventually include its own version of the Stacks docklet, although I'm not sure yet if that will be in the very next release or not. For now you can always use Cris'n'Soft stand-alone Stacks with Nexus.

  • i have a little bit of problem with this one because when i restart my computer nexus dock won't open up .. i tried to redownload it but its still the same. any help ?

  • Sorry for the late reply... can you contact me at Winstep support so I can figure out what is wrong, please?

  • oh .. i figured it out now .. thanks anyway .. :)

  • How about running indicators, email indicators?

  • What about them? Nexus 9.12 has running indicators. It also has several more modules/docklets/widgets than what you see on the video, including an Email Checker widget.

  • Err, authorized by whom? Not by Winstep for sure, although it has no objections when it comes to 3rd parties distributing its shareware and freeware files PROVIDED THE ORIGINAL CONTENT IS NOT CHANGED IN ANY WAY.

    The only official and 100% reliable download site is the Winstep web site.

  • thnx a lot way better than rocket dock...works perfect

  • ooo thanks realy nice dock better then rocket dock.. can you put stack docklets on it 2 or you can't ..???

  • For now you can use Cris'n'Soft stand-alone Stacks docklet.

    The next Nexus release should already feature a native Stacks docklet.

  • @JcRabbit

    Thanks for the vid, this dock is awesome but where can I get that docklet you´re talking about, can you lead me to a site to it please?

  • Youtube doesn't allow posting URLs in the comments section. Do a search in Google for 'Cris'n'Soft Stacks'.

  • That´s what I did yesterday but for some reason I could not find any results, tried tiday and voila there it is :D

    thanks for your help

  • how do you get more themes .. ??

  • In the Themes tab in Nexus Preferences you have a 'Get More Themes' button. Just click on it.

  • dos it work on 7

  • Yes! :-)

  • Awesome!

  • best dock ever... LOOK at the Fish its moving,, hahaa

  • awesome dock and very nice music

  • Thanks! :-)

  • What is the name of this song please?

    Qual é o nome dessa música por favor?

  • Oceanlab - On a good day

  • @GGBlind Thanks!~

    =)

  • nexus rlz... BTW AWESOME background

  • better than rocketdock !

    i like it ! :)

  • really i think this is a little bit too customizeable. lol NICE program!

  • Comment removed

  • i still like rocketdock xD

  • Love your taste in music. :)

    Trance all the way!

  • but how doyou just enable the dock without that other shit?

  • What other shit?

  • the start button,background,

  • The freeware version of Nexus does not change your wallpaper when you switch dock backgrounds (unless you specifically ask it to).

    Perhaps you tried running Winstep Xtreme instead, which is the full suite (NextSTART, Nexus, WorkShelf, Start Menu Organizer, FontBrowser)? Themes in it each come with their own wallpapers, and NextSTART does change your Windows startbar (although you can always disable that if you want).

  • ok thx

  • yeah i agree i like this more then object dock

  • how can i get that awesome wallpaper?

  • Dowload Winstep Xtreme or Nexus from the Winstep web site (url is posted in the video). The wallpaper is included as part of one of the themes.

  • is this safe?

  • As safe as safe can be. :-)

  • do i need to back up my windows pc before using winstep extreme 9.5 ?

    please tell me know..

  • Nope, not at all. And to go back to 'normal' Windows all you need to do is exit Winstep Xtreme. :)

  • so its not like windows blind software,

    where you have to back it up before using it?

    so winstep does not chang anything on your system. It just that software that changes? when its running..

    and when you close winstep. every thing on you pc goes back to normal?

    please reaply? if you know what your talking about.. please.. i need to know...

    :3

  • Its cool i like dell dock too but this kicks ass.

  • I think this one is much better than object dock more clear UI and so on

  • I better like rocketdock but this is okay too

  • надо будет поставить! удобная навигационная штука)) тока жаль, чтокрякнутой не нашол!((

  • ahh , i have one quest !!

    when i start this Winstep Nexus Dock 9.5 , in NextStart i open Skype , BUT i can do nothing in there ...

    What i have to do ?! :( pls answer

  • nice , im going to download this !

    What is the name of song ? :)

  • I Tried And ITS FREAKIN AWSOME just a thing is there anny add - on to have the leopard effect when opening the folder??

    sorry my bad english.

  • Nice I Gonna Try It ^^

  • is there any way the change the recycle bin icon?

  • Yes, but it's not as straightforward as normal shortcuts because the Recycle Bin is a widget/docklet, so it uses 'skins' instead of icons.

    Right click the Recycle Bin and select a skin for it from the Themes sub-menu ( which displays your currently installed Recycle Bin skins). Once you've found one you like, lock it.

    Otherwise you'll have to learn how to create a Recycle Bin theme (or replace the images used in an existing theme, which are WsTrashES.png and WsTrashFS.png) with your own.

  • mh, good song.

    how does it calls? (:

  • Soundtrack on this video is Above & Beyond Pres Oceanlab - On A Good Day

  • I came here from Magam adom

    v=pzxvbwKaPIw

  • Well I have to be honest that I've tried every single dock on Windows. This one is very good indeed (okey, the best I've seen :), have a lot of functions (show running applications works much better than in RKL). However, I still miss stacks docklet or setting minus offsets for making dock use less space (those 2 options are in ObjectDock). ObjD and RKLauncher still got much more skins.

    And I'm afraid the truth is brutal - free docks will always be a bit cooler than those not free.

  • This is a first beta.

    1 - You can use the standalone Stacks docklet of chris'n'Soft with Nexus. Eventually Winstep will develop its own version, but it obviously lost a lot of the priority it once had.

    2 - Icon spacing is already there for the next release, as is 'lock icons' and a few other user requests. More languages are going to be supported too.

    3 - Nexus is compatible with skins for ALL other 3rd party docks (OD, RK, RD, YZ, MD, etc...). How much more could you want? ;-)

  • didn't knew about that compatibility :) got to check it. And - of course - more language would be really great because I still haven't seen Polish there.

    of course, this dock is very stable for a beta, I have forgot to say that :)

  • Want to give it a go?

    Instructions on how to use the Winstep Translator Helper application included with Nexus can be found on the Winstep Forums. :-)

  • this dock is so much better than all other i have tried!

    Keep up the good work! :D

  • thanks....

    JcRabbit =)

  • transferring to the Winstep Nexus Dock 9,5 the wallpaper already he will be enclosed?

  • Yes. Go to the themes tab in Nexus Preferences and select 'Wallpaper' from the combo box.

  • site for download? wallpaper name?

    how to make for it is as wallpaper in my PC?

    pleasee....

    thanks

  • Seriously please include tab feature, it will then be the perfect dock. Please.

  • Winstep Xtreme (Nexus bigger brother) features (among many other things, obviously) tabbed docks, multiple docks and multi-level subdocks.

    It can't all be free, sorry.

  • RocketDock is freeware, and exactly the same thing...

  • This comment only shows you really didn't pay attention to the video. Nexus has features and effects you currently won't find on *any* other Windows dock.

    Not only that, but development on RocketDock is pretty much dead, their last version was released in 2007.

    Nexus, on the other hand, is under active development. So there. :-P

  • Hi please upload shomewhere this wallpaper it's very cool!

  • Hi! Just download and install Nexus - the wallpaper is part of the included Aero LowRes theme.

  • Hi JC. I've been using Winstep for several years and can only say that this application continues to improve. I am looking forward to the new updates which look great and more intuitive! Kudos!

  • Thanks Herneith! :-)

  • nice wallpaper [2]

    ...

    site for download? wallpaper name?

    tank's

  • Sigh.

    Not only have I replied to this question in comments already, as at the right there is an info section. Click on 'More Info' and you will find the name of the music in the video.

    This said, it really is a great song, heh? :-)

  • What's name of the music of video?

    Please.
