That's just a preview, although there currently is a beta of Xtreme v10.8 available on the Winstep forums for registered Winstep users.
v10.8 will be released soon.

OK, I know this thread isn't for this, but I still get a gap between the Nextstart taskbar and workshelf. Win 7, large icons.

Probably because the large Windows taskbar is still reserving screen space. Set the Windows taskbar to auto-hide before enabling the NextSTART taskbar (or get the v10.8 beta which already fixes this by temporarilly setting the Windows taskbar to auto-hide before replacing it with the NextSTART taskbar).

Excellent! It's refreshing to see how you are constantly on top of things, adding cool features, providing outstanding support etc.
Nice to see a taskbar alternative showing previews that actually works as it should too. I so look forward to this. Thanks!

Phoon...if you have a subscription, go to the Beta Forums... top of the list... 10.8 Beta 1. The effects on the dock are lots of fun!

"Squish" cracks me up, 
I have to play with it from time to time.

The new effects are also now available on the Shelf (tabbed dock), new beta comming up soon. 
Also, they have to be actually seen, that video was recorded on my Toshiba laptop and the best the Screen Recorder could do was 5 FPS, which makes everything a bit 'jumpy'. Sigh.

While I have some (Zoom, Bounce, Rock, Swing, Afterglow and none), there aren't all the new ones there in in Nexus like wind/heal/flair, etc.

As I said, new beta coming out soon. 
The first beta did not have those effects on the Shelf.

Sorry I misinterpreted "now", my friend.... On the other hand, I wish I could do as well in Portuguese as you do in English...

My fault. When I said 'now', I meant now, but here (i.e.; already got it working here, but not yet released).
