A superb collection of utilities and desktop enhancements, Winstep Xtreme will change the way you work with Windows forever.

Winstep Xtreme v10.6 features the same modern and clean User Interface with multi-language support that you can find in the free version of the Winstep Nexus dock. v10.6 has so many new features in relation to v9.5 that listing them all becomes impossible - just try the new release, you will love it!
Winstep Xtreme offers a free 30 day trial and is available from $28.45.

Oh yes, especially that. 
Webbie, your Wraith Xtreme theme is smoking hot!

All of them are Jorge! I so love what the Giz has contributed to Winstep. 
Reply #5 Tuesday, July 13, 2010 5:01 PM
Me too. Now all he needs to do is make alternate, more compact, versions of those themes for the users that are still running at 1024x768 screen resolution (the vast majority, amazingly as it may seem).

Doesn't this directly compete with the software on here?

Absolutely, Giz is THE man! 
Great job as usual Jorge!

Nope, it compliments it. Furthermore, Winstep Xtreme has many themes to coincide/go with the Windowblinds themes found here on WC.
Put it this way, I've been running Winstep apps alongside Stardock apps for years now and it seems the most natural thing to do, not to mention being a convenient and rewarding desktop experience.
Thanks for the heads up Jorge, appreciated as always..

Hadn't thought of that Jorge...actually...didn't think it mattered since you have the scale option...but I'll work on that!
Reply #11 Tuesday, July 13, 2010 8:05 PM
Thanks for letting me know that there was an update.
Reply #13 Tuesday, July 13, 2010 9:09 PM
I noticed that Nexus Free has some features similar to ObjectDock Plus as well.
Reply #15 Tuesday, July 13, 2010 9:50 PM
Jorge, is the price for an update still $19.95. My subscription was up June 14th. And if so, where in the purchase process does that option come up? Thanks!

Unfortunately the scale option is only for Desktop modules.
Ahh ok! I'll shrink them down a bit. It's just that on my big screen they already looked small.

Yep, prices remain the same.
The application warns you with a pop up when your year of free updates runs out, and gives you a link to the renewal page. The Winstep Automatic Update Manager does the same thing if it detects the upgrade you are about to download is not covered by your license key anymore. Finaly, if you install a new version and your license key is not valid for that release, the Registration tab in Preferences makes a come back - but this time the buy link leads you to the renewal page instead of the full price page (but let me add that you also get a 'Roll Back' button to revert to the previous version you were using if you do not wish to upgrade at that time).
I guess that covers all the contigencies, otherwise just send me an email to Winstep support and I'll take care of it!

Folks... The Giz also has several more themes on the runway ready for 'lift off'... to mix metaphors....(not as good as mixing Martinis)
Reply #19 Tuesday, July 13, 2010 10:29 PM
Yay! Personally I prefer *drinking* them, though. Burps.
