Winstep Xtreme is an out-of-the-box integrated suite of shell enhancement applications focusing on giving users a greater experience through powerful yet convenient control of the Windows desktop. Download it here:
Winstep Xtreme 8.2
(14.9 MB - Includes WorkShelf/NeXuS v2.5, NextSTART v4.5 and FontBrowser v1.0)
NeXuS is a multi-dock system, which as well as holding traditional bookmarked icons can also hold any combination of widgets, clocks, mail checkers, weather indicators and system performance meters within multiple levels of sub-docks. WorkShelf is a tabbed dock, better suited for complex organizational duties like organizing documents, URLs, movies, work projects, applications, etc... NextSTART is the menu system - and takes care of all your task management needs as well. FontBrowser is a bare-bones font browsing utility.
Winstep Xtreme also includes a pack of popular desktop widgets which can be displayed on the desktop, featured within the docks, placed within shelves or merged into the taskbar. Featured widgets include a speaking Atomic Clock, Recycle Bin, SSL POP3/IMAP Email Checker, Weather Monitor with 5 day forecast, CPU, Net and RAM Meters, and Wanda, the amazing 'fortune cookie' reader. New modules are constantly under development, add a widget request HERE.
Winstep Xtreme is supported by an active community of themers with hundreds of resolution independent themes readily available for download. Check out the Winstep gallery right here at Wincustomize.
Winstep Xtreme runs under Win9x/ME/NT4/2000/XP/2003 Server/XP64/Windows Vista and is fully compatible with all Stardock applications.

My problem is I haven't learn to use all the Stardock customization programs yet!
Hey, you know what would be nice. Someone, anyone, could do a desktop using both Stardock programs and Winstep and give the community here a look at how things can work together.
Yeah, that's a plan. Now who is going to do that, they would have to have Winstep, leaves me out. Let me think.

Winstep Xtreme runs basically on all Windows versions - yes, it's one of the very few that still actually runs on Win9x!
So, it runs on Win95, Win98, Win98 SE, Win ME, Win 2000, XP 32bit, XP 64bit, 2003 Server, Vista 32bit and the new release possibly on Vista 64bit as well, although the later hasn't been tested yet.
Ah, and Winstep Xtreme is still able to run themes created way back in 1999, when Winstep Software Technologies was born.

This looks interesting but the readme file says it is a Beta.
I would like to know if the software itself is NOT Beta, please.
TIA

No, it's NOT in beta, it's the final release. Unfortunately the Readme.txt file in the zip ended up not being updated for some reason - sorry about that and thanks for pointing this out.
