Winstep releases Xtreme 8.2
February 20, 2008 12PM
My favourite desktop environment has been updated and packaged as version 8.2. The new version has many new features and improvements since the last version. You can get the official story using the link below. You can purchase the application from webWICKED and find a few themes here as well. 
Here is a quick rundown on what is new in this latest release.
- Dock and Shelf icons can now range in size from 16x16 to 256x256
- WinStep Xtreme is now 100% Vista compatible
- NextStart menu icons can now range in size from 16x16 to 256x256
- You can now create theme specific NeXus control icons and sub-dock indicators
- And my favourite… You can set the horizontal and vertical icon placement in Startbar and Quicklaunch icons. Very handy for the current theme I'm working on
If you have no idea what any of the previous text means and are wondering what WinStep Xtreme, WorkShelf, NextStart and NeXus are, then read on
Here is the official description as seen on the WinStep web site:
NextSTART: The world's first easy to use, skinnable Start Menu/Task bar replacement.
WorkShelf: A powerful, multi-paged desktop replacement, program launcher and document organizer that can be used as an alternative or supplement to the normal Windows desktop. Also features handy modules such as a talking clock that can synchronize your system time with the atomic time servers on the Internet, an Email Checker, Weather monitor, CPU, RAM and Net Meters and more!
NeXuS: A super fast program launcher, allows you to organize your most frequently used applications and put them into docks.
FontBrowser: A simple font browser with an easy to use interface. You'll wonder how you ever lived without it!
Basically, WinStep Xtreme makes your desktop look a lot better while making the environment a whole lot more useable. Check it out.
