Winstep Nexus has a very high level of completion, and can replace most of the functions of the taskbar. It offers high customization options and comes with many useful gadgets and system commands. It is particularly suitable for people who want to hide the taskbar and heavily rely on the dock bar.
Winstep Nexus supports multiple-level display in folders, which can be used to collect multiple application shortcuts in the mapped folder (need to check "Show folders in menu").
Nexus also comes with several practical components, including weather, clock, CPU, memory, and network monitors. The weather component can automatically locate the city, and you can click to view the weather for the next five days.
It's worth noting that double-clicking on the clock will bring up a cool clock screensaver, which also supports setting alarms that will pop up this LCD screen as a reminder.
Now let's talk about some of the useful features of Nexus. First, it supports displaying running programs and multiple window stacking previews for the same application, just like the native taskbar. Applications with message notifications will also flash to remind you.
Secondly, it supports multiple ways to call up the dock bar, such as shortcut keys, edge sliding, and corner touch. I set the position to fixed at the top, and hid the taskbar, then set the dock bar to slide from the top edge. This not only makes switching between applications silky smooth, but also provides more screen display space for full-screen applications.
A very considerate feature is the ability to exclude applications to prevent accidental activation of the dock bar (such as when playing games). There are many details that can be customized, such as making WIN + D show the desktop always visible, locking icons, and setting the right-click menu, etc. Due to space limitations, you can explore these details on your own.
Finally, in terms of appearance, all icons on the dock bar support modification, including running programs. It has multiple built-in themes and supports importing themes. It also has reflection effects, water ripples, shadows, mouse hovering and clicking features, fonts, icon sizes, spacing, and many other details that can be customized.
