Good to know. I made sure to download the exe and all the docks. I don't use it anymore but it is good to have archived in case I want too again someday. 
Are docks no longer popular? Personally I prefer a dock over other options including fences. I tend to not have a lot of shortcuts on my desktop so a simple dock does the trick for me.  

Anything out there pales in comparison to Winstep.

Not to rain on your parade, Jorge, but for those who are interested, RocketDock skins, docklets and icons are also available over at devart.  I've not yet checked the RocketDock library over there, having always used ObjectDock and Nexus, but it looks to be fairly comprehensive.

True, very true indeed, but some great skins were made for RocketDock.... and better still, they are compatible with Winstep's Nexus.

I'm pretty sure it won't have all the stuff that exists in the RocketDock gallery, Starkers.

For instance, Nexus natively supports animated icons (you simply drag & drop the PNG strip into ANY item on the dock and it just works, no need for docklets or anything!), and there is this guy named Spippy that made HUNDREDS of those.

While I haven't checked DA to see if they are also there, knowing him (he did some animated icons for Nexus too, a few years ago) he liked to have everything centralized for rating/number of download purposes, so I doubt it.

Check is in the mail.

I knew every topic regarding Dock is going to gaslight/hijack by the particular non-Stardock individual.   

First, I was the one who posted this topic. Second, it was posted on Wincustomize which has a Winstep themes section since the very beginning, FYI. Third, you seem to have an axe to grind - if anyone here is out-of-line is you.

There are a lot of Stardock users who are also Winstep users and vice-versa, as it's obvious from the replies above. Wasn't the explanation given by the moderators here (and me) enough for you the other time?

I use RocketDock on my Win 10 cause OD runs slow on it. I do have Nexus dock installed but the free version is limited for my liking. OD was the best because you could have multiple docks plus tabbed docks.

Why are you comparing the paid version of OD to the free version of Nexus? IIRC, the free version of OD also only supported a single dock, and no tabbed docks.

Nexus Ultimate (the paid version) supports multiple docks, infinite number of nested sub-docks (a bit like a Stacks docklet) and also a tabbed dock (the Shelf) which has specialized tabs able to display the contents of folders, recent documents, the Desktop, Windows 10 UWP apps, Windows Control Panel, etc...

For those not following THIS THREAD on the Winstep forums, the next release is going to be HUGE: it adds support for multiple tabbed docks, vertical tabbed docks, tabbed dock scaling (you can now make them bigger if you have poor eyesight or a huge screen res) and something new called 'Drawers' (a mix between a single-tab tabbed dock and a dock).

Sorry I didn't know the free version of OD just has a single dock. If you are making tabbed docks for Nexus similar to OD this would be huge and I'd be interested.

I did take a brief look at devart's gallery some time ago but never completed browsing it, hence I'm not sure exactly what skins they have or by who.  I've seen work by Spippy during my travels to find skins for nexus, but I don't know if he ever uploaded any to devart or not.

In any event, I am a 100% fan of Winstep apps and need to get my main PCs up and running again to get maximum benefit from the apps and screen real estate.  Although I have my little HP 2-in-1 hooked up to a monitor I'm not getting the best result because it doesn't support the resolution for a 35" ultra wide screen.  With a bit of luck my mobo will be returned from warranty, and the part I'm waiting on for the other machine arrives this week.

  That does sound, well, HUGE   

I would be very interested in creating Dock icons in addition to my iconpackages. Are dock icons PNG images ? and what size formats are required ?

I probably need to stress that JcRabbit is very much NOT in the wrong posting about the Rocketdock closure or about his Winstep alternative option.

Jorge's been around since before Wincustomize as a [very much] valued developer of skinning/skinnable software, hence our hosting of the Winstep Gallery here.

And anyone is more than welcome to post news re skinning, no matter who...

Thanks for pointing this out once again, Jafo.

Sincerely, I don't know what is going on recently, I don't recall this type of 'white-knighting' ('Stardock-knighting'? lol) ever happening when the skinning community was a LOT more active and I posted here even more frequently.

Perhaps because back then nearly all users here knew what Wincustomize was about and that, despite being backed by Stardock, it was also a place for *all* Windows customization applications. Another sign of the times, I guess.

Guys, look around you. Anyone can see that Windows customization is at an all time low with skinning sites and forums closing left and right, related applications being in limbo or abandoned, etc - so it would be perhaps better to cherish what you do STILL have instead of antagonizing the people behind it.

For those who don't know, Stardock's and Winstep's relation goes all the way back to 1999, even before the creation of Wincustomize. That's almost 20 years of Jafo correcting my spelling mistakes.
