Not to rain on your parade, Jorge, but for those who are interested, RocketDock skins, docklets and icons are also available over at devart. Soon there will be a public beta though, followed by the official release some time next month. There is already a private beta floating around show casing all these new features, but you MUST be already running Nexus Ultimate or Winstep Xtreme v18.5 to give it a try. The current official v18.5 release only supports a single horizontal Shelf/tabbed dock which can be docked at the top or bottom of the screen or even left floating, but that has changed in the next release (as I mentioned above) which offers support for multiple, as well as vertical, Shelves/tabbed docks and also for a new thing called 'Drawers'. There are 20 different tab types, to give you an idea. The 'Recent Documents' tab will show your (you can define ) most recent documents and so on.

The 'Apps' tab type will show you all the UWP apps currently installed on your Windows 10 PC.

A 'Folder' tab type allows you to display the contents of any folder in your hard drive(s), again with full drag & drop support (great for working on multiple projects).
The tabbed dock in Nexus Ultimate is called the 'Shelf' and goes a bit further than OD tabbed docks, in that each tab in the Shelf/tabbed dock can have a different function (besides the normal one where you manually drag & drop shortcuts like in the dock).įor instance, you can add a 'Desktop' tab type to the Shelf which will display the contents of the Windows Desktop in your tabbed dock (with full drag & drop support) - you can then hide the Desktop icons because they can now be accessed via the Shelf instead. If you are making tabbed docks for Nexus similar to OD this would be huge and I'd be interested. Sorry I didn't know the free version of OD just has a single dock. Nexus Ultimate (the paid version) supports multiple docks, infinite number of nested sub-docks (a bit like a Stacks docklet) and also a tabbed dock (the Shelf) which has specialized tabs able to display the contents of folders, recent documents, the Desktop, Windows 10 UWP apps, Windows Control Panel, etc.įor those not following THIS THREAD on the Winstep forums, the next release is going to be HUGE: it adds support for multiple tabbed docks, vertical tabbed docks, tabbed dock scaling (you can now make them bigger if you have poor eyesight or a huge screen res) and something new called 'Drawers' (a mix between a single-tab tabbed dock and a dock). Why are you comparing the paid version of OD to the free version of Nexus? IIRC, the free version of OD also only supported a single dock, and no tabbed docks.

OD was the best because you could have multiple docks plus tabbed docks. I do have Nexus dock installed but the free version is limited for my liking. I use RocketDock on my Win 10 cause OD runs slow on it.
