I've been using the new effects on the 10.8 beta, nicely done!

Winstep version numbers are based on Year.Month, and this release was supposed to have come out in August (10.8), which was when that preview video was made. Unfortunately some last minute features (plus having to wait for the Cnet Download.com exclusive that is currently going on) delayed the release by a month.

You can use Cris'n'Soft stand alone Stacks.
Native Stacks support unfortunately had to be pushed back for the next release - and it will NOT be a feature of the free version of the Nexus dock anyway, only Nexus Ultimate, which already has sub-docks ('dock categories').

Mine! I'm gonna go get it. Some of those effects are really cool. I especially like the green glow effect.
Got it! Wow. This is some cool stuff. I'll spend more time playing with it.

And you can colorize all the animated particle effects, which means you actually have a TON of variations.

By the way, Nexus is currently featured on the front page of Cnet's Download.com.

Jorge...something has puzzled me: I'm running 10.8 Beta 3. How come it doesn't recognize Nexus 10.9 as an upgrade?
Could you take a minute and explain your numbering system? Thanks!

How do I see which beta it is?

I just purchased the extreme about 3 weeks ago. When I installed it I had everything showing and it said 10.6. It doesn't tell me an update is available even when I go to Preferences/advanced and check. Also Right after I installed it I exited the dock. Can't even find it on my system. Must be hiding here somewhere I would guess.

Mine says 10.9 and a check for updates says all my stuff is current.

Ditto for me. I show 10.8 on the Workshelf Preferences Window, and about says File Version 10.08.0900
How do I see which beta it is?
If you got the extreme and didn't install any Beta, then you have the latest "Official Release"...10.6.
If you installed a Beta, then it could only be Beta 2 or Beta 3. Mine says the same as yours (click on the version in the upper right corner of the workshelf config window), and I installed Beta 3.
Dave, What does yours say in the upper right corner of the Preferences window (Nextstart or Workshelf)? Click on it and it should show your files like WB does. If you want the 10.8 Betas, logon to the Forums and go to the Beta Forums. It's the top thread once you get there.

Ok Doc thanks. I have no beta and it says 10.6 Winstep Xtream. I find it strange I would now have to install a beta to get the additional features and will just wait till the version update. I did find how to load the dock again.
