I still can't decide. They're all so cool. I'll have to look into the recolor thing though.

So, did you? Next release I'll try to allow users to combine the new animated mouse over effects with the dock magnification effect. Now that would be super cool. ![]()

Personaly I think Squish is one of the best effects for the Shelf. ![]()
If you're running Xtreme v10.9, take a look at the new menu opening animations too:

Yeah, wow! So where are the options to change them at?

NextSTART Preferences -> Sound & Animations tab. Don't forget to set the same animation for vertical and horizontal menus.
Since Winstep Xtreme is an integrated suite of applications, context menus in WorkShelf and Nexus will then also use the same animations you defined in NextSTART (unless you turn integration off, of course).

Just wanted to say that I brought Winstep Extreme Basic a week ago and it is one very nice program. It does what you expect it to do and is very flexible in setting it up to give your desktop just the look you want. ![]()

Question. OD2 free crashed on me this morning while I was working in photoshop. I didn't notice until I minimized the screen to open a folder. Just the standard error message. It encountered a problem and needs to close. Thing is it generated a crash report with a .dmp extension. I know its a dump but the size of it was enormous! Eight digits worth! The last two digits were 15. 15 mbs??? Then it zipped it. It also asked if I want to send the report. Who do I send it to?
BTW - I finally settled on the bubble effect. This new dock is way cool! Nice going Jorge.

"Lobotomy"
Reply #55 Tuesday, November 2, 2010 1:24 PM
It's either a Frontal Lobotomy, or a bottle in front of me.

ObjectDock 2 free has which is where he started from.

Danged if I didn't confuse the two. What I meant was ... the bounce ... they icons look like they have hiccups when I mouse over them. I should put my post in the proper thread. Oh jeez! ![]()

I like Heal too... Hmmm. Wonder if it would be better if the effect kept playing while you mouse over the icon, like Flare does.
