Windows gives you a few options to modify the look and feel of your desktop, but they certainly leave much to be desired if you're a more particular user. Software of all kinds can be used to deepen that customization and help you take advantage of additional features.

Winstep Nexus' approach to all of this is simple enough: provide a dock that makes certain system functions easier to access, which also displays some useful-to-know information, such as your CPU and memory usage. Add in that the dock is customizable to a high degree, and you've got an interesting software proposition.

Docks used to be quite popular back in the day, and though the world has mostly moved on from them, they're still just as functionally sound as they were then. A quick glance at this dock will reveal some useful options, such as being able to capture your desktop, checking the weather, monitoring your CPU and RAM usage, and more. These are what the app refers to as "modules."

Modules for your network and e-mail can be added. Although the selection of available modules is fairly reasonable, a license is required to get access to additional ones. Quick access to some apps is likewise present, and you can add new app entries as you see fit.

There are many options to configure, especially if you're among the more discerning users. You can change the app's behavior in relation to context menus, auto-hide, and how it activates.

There's also quite a generous amount of options related to the dock's appearance. Make it as small or as big as you like, manage its transparency and color, add some effects, and choose a theme more in line with your preferences. There's even support for custom sounds, which can lead to some very interesting interactions with the dock.

Winstep Nexus should make for a good choice for anyone looking for the functionality and design flourish that a dock can provide to their desktop. Owing to its configurable nature, the app enables users to come up with their own docks with minimal effort.
