Not knowing when said update would occur, I plunged into the beta. I have absolutely no regrets as it works flawlessly and the new effects are awesome! I highly recommend it.

The Dock and I just realized you're not talking about that. Oops.

Winstep Xtreme v10.9 will be officially released next week. Nexus v10.9 was ready (and the Cnet Download.com exclusive was already scheduled for Friday) but Winstep Xtreme still needed some work on features that are specific to it.
Usually all versions are released at the same time, but unfortunately this was not possible now because of the Cnet exclusive.
So you can just wait a little while longer and get the official update next week (the Winstep Update Manager should notify you within 24 hours of release) or, assuming you are a registered Winstep Xtreme or Nexus Ultimate user, you can join the Beta Discussion section of the Winstep forums and get the latest beta.

Jorge...I hope I didn't make too many mistakes in what I said...
Reply #27 Saturday, October 9, 2010 4:46 PM
Nah, don't worry about it.
I knew this was going to be confusing because the pre-scheduled Cnet exclusive forced me to release Nexus first. My own fault for slacking out and not finishing everything on time.

Well maybe, things do happen 
Hardly, I really don't think so.

I'll be making Winstep Xtreme v10.9 and Nexus Ultimate v10.9 available through the Winstep Update Manager late Monday or so, but you won't see it listed on the Winstep web site until Cnet updates their listings with the new version, which might take a few days.

Great!!!! Thanks, Jorge!

I think I've gone through all the bells and whistles on my new dock and still can't decide which one to leave up for more than a minute or two. It is just too much fun to play with. Lol

Heheh.
Out of curiosity, from 1 to 10, how would you guys rate the new animations in terms of preference and coolness?
Squish:
Spin:
Sonic Boom:
Heal:
Fire:
Magic:
Flare:
Wind:
Water:

Squish:10
Spin:2
Sonic Boom:8
Heal:3
Fire:9
Magic:7
Flare:5
Wind:4
Water:6
Preference will vary as some will look better than others depending on the Winstep Theme/WB in use. I like squish the most, but they all rate an 8 or above in coolness.

Love 'heal' (wonder why...lol) 1 recolored yellow on "Corporate"
Fire 2, spin 3... not wild about the rest...but the recolor thing...woohoo! Stroke of genius to add all that!
Need a tutorial about subdocks...how to make, etc... and then I'll really be cooking.

I hadn't even tried that yet. That changes everything. Scratch my list, no way I could pick a favorite! If I had to pick just one, Sonic Boom is great for using long term and goes with anything. Squish is a lot of fun and is great for showing Nexus off to my friends.
