If you ever thought that your Windows needs some tweaks and customization and didn't know how to do that, there is a solution to your dilemma: Winstep Xtreme.

This software makes your Windows experience more enjoyable by improving its appearance and its functions.

At first instance, the interface may be confusing because of its numerous functions spread around the desktop, the high amount of options and functionalities not being characteristic to default Windows. After a while, you'll get used to and you'll start enjoying the futuristic design and various desktop themes options.

What Winstep Xtreme does to your Windows is completely changing the look of your desktop by adding a new wallpaper, animations, and modifying the taskbar.

The result is a completely new desktop, one that is equipped with a Workshelf-for better organize documents, work projects, URLs, movies-, Modules, such as Clock, Battery monitor, Moon Phases, Weather monitor, Net and RAM Meters, and an improved Start Menu Organizer.

Moreover, you can create your own customized menus by using the drag&drop function, or you can "attach" menus to different areas of your desktop and applications.

In the end, the price you'll have to pay to enjoy these features is the increase of system resources...and 29.95$ for PRO version of the software.


v16.6.1161 [Jun 28, 2016]
Universal (UWP) Windows 10 Apps are now handled like normal Windows applications.
UWP/Universal apps are alien to Windows. They are so different that Winstep applications previously showed a 'generic' box app icon for any running UWP apps.
With v16.6, running UWP apps now show the proper icon, can be pinned to the dock, are properly grouped together, can display a customized icon, and will even show a running indicator when pinned to the dock if the App is running.
In other words, UWP apps are now handled like any other Win32 applications, which makes Nexus the first (and so far the only) dock able to pull this off. Enable Fast Boot and Nexus will be there already waiting for you as soon as you see the Windows Desktop. Yes, the difference is that dramatic. Colors on the User Interface of Winstep applications were, until now, hard-coded. Since many Winstep users also run the popular Stardock WindowBlinds skinning application, this could lead to some unexpected results where the Preference dialogs of Winstep applications would only be partially skinned, sometimes with pretty horrific results. In the previous release we got the wallpaper hot-track colorization feature working with the Windows 7 wallpaper slide-show. But we goofed up, sort of. Only after the release did we become aware via user feedback that the feature was still having trouble on some Windows 10 systems. All fixed now.
