What's new in this version:
- Updated the Portuguese language file
- Updated the Portuguese (Brazil) language file
- Updated the Farsi language file
- Updated the Chinese Simplified language file
- Updated Hungarian language file (inc.)
- You can now drag & drop PNG, ICO and TIF files into folders in the dock as if they were normal files by pressing either SHIFT or CTRL while dragging. This allows you to move and copy those files as normal instead of them being used as icon replacement images
- Added new 'Take Picture' sound event, and default camera shutter sound file, played when the user clicks on the 'Capture Desktop' internal command
- Added new picture quality, delay, and sound settings to the 'Capture Desktop' internal command
- New 'Alarm Manager' internal command, opens the Alarm Manager window
- New 'Hide Dock' internal command, hides/collapses the dock
- You can now launch a new instance of an application appearing on the dock as running, but not pinned to it, either by pressing SHIFT while left clicking the icon or by double clicking the icon
- Added missing ex-Yugoslavia countries to the weather codes database. Automatic geo-location via IP address should now work with the new countries too
- Added many new Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Macedonia, Montenegro, Serbia and Slovenia locations with associated weather codes
- Internet/URL shortcuts are now automatically resolved into internal 'URL' type items when dropped into the dock. This allows the source shortcuts (e.g.; shortcuts to Steam games or websites) to be later deleted from the file system without the entries in the dock stopping to work
- The Media Control internal commands Previous, Next, Play, Pause, Stop, Mute, Volume Up and Volume Down should now also work with media players other than WinAmp and Windows Media Player. Please note: some media players, such as VLC and Gom Player, must first be configured to accept global keys, i.e.; accept the keys even if the player window itself does not have the focus
- Environment variables such as %ALLUSERSPROFILE% are now automatically expanded when launching an item
- The first weather forecast icon now always shows the max temperature for that day, regardless of current time
- Window preview thumbnails now automatically scale up on high DPI systems
- Thumbnail images on balloon tooltips now now automatically scale up on high DPI systems
- Drag & drop file operations (i.e.; dropping files into folder icons) are now performed in the background, which makes the application remain responsive even when copying or moving multi-megabyte files
- Added more WHOIS servers to the Active Connections dialog, and WHOIS information is now properly retrieved from the root registar
- UWP (Universal Windows Apps) in Windows 10 are now labeled as such in the balloon information tooltips
- When dragging & dropping an executable file directly from an Explorer folder the name of the resulting shortcut is now automatically retrieved from the file description (e.g.; iexplore.exe now becomes 'Internet Explorer' instead of just 'iexplorer')
- Windows 10 supports setting PNG files as the current desktop wallpaper, which was previously not supported on the panels in Preferences that displayed the current wallpaper as a background image (e.g.; Themes tab), resulting in a solid white background
- The balloon tooltip of the Capture Desktop internal command now displays a thumbnail of the last screenshot taken
- Clicking in the Themes tab in Preferences and very rapidly clicking on another tab before the Themes tab finished displaying completely could result in the Themes tab getting 'stuck'
- Fixed retrieval of current weather conditions for when Weather.com does not provide valid current conditions information
- The Email Checker module should now work properly with ISPs (looking at you AT&T) that do not follow the correct POP3 protocol (RFC 1939)
- Midnight in 12 hour format was being displayed as '0 AM' instead of '12 AM' in the Alarm Manager and Alarm Reminder dialogs
- The ' Messages Unread' report of the Email Checker on an IMAP connection was not being translated into the currently selected language
- Information regarding the latest Email Checker connections was being incorrectly reported when opening the Email Checker Settings dialog from a context menu
- The application could freeze for several minutes after returning from Standby on Surface Pro laptops because of the 'Connected Standby/InstantGo' power saving feature used in those laptops
- Fixed glitchy resize of the available screen area which could happen when the dock was set to reserve screen space, the dock was forced to automatically reduce the user preset icon size in order to fit on the screen, and a new item was added to or removed from the dock
- System tray popups no longer appear at the left of the screen in Windows 10 and should now be correctly positioned next to the mouse pointer
- Fixed some issues which could cause the WHOIS right click context menu command to fail on the Active Connections dialog
- Microsoft broke drag & drop operations from the Windows Start Menu in one of the latest Windows 10 updates, which caused shortcuts dragged from the Start Menu not to be resolved properly. This resulted in dock items of 'virtual shell item' types with low resolution icons pointing to shortcut (.lnk) files instead of directly to the target files
- Immediately after a settings reset to factory default, the weather module tooltip would display 'Location not set'
- Improved weather module GeoLocation for when Maxmind returns a city name not in the Weather codes database but MSN returns a different city name for that same location, which already IS in the database
- Fixed issue which could cause a crash or data corruption while performing a WHOIS in the Active Connections dialog
- Fixed some potential timing issues with Windows systray pop ups under Windows 10
- Fixed some issues positioning the Windows clock calendar panel under Windows 10
- Fixed issue that could potentially freeze Explorer when clicking on a system tray icon under Windows 10
- Fixed issue under Windows 10 where the Windows clock calendar might not pop up if DPI scaling was not set to 100%

What's new in this version:
- Updated Russian language file.
- File format of screenshots taken by the 'Capture Desktop' internal command can now be set as either JPG or PNG.
- Filled histogram colors used for the CPU, Net and RAM Meter icon modules are now a bit transparent so the background of the icon can still be seen.
- URLs dragged from all browsers should now use the web page title for the item's label instead of the actual URL domain address.
- Added new 'Overlap information on battery icon' option to the battery module, enabled by default. Controls whether the AC Power symbol, charge percentage and battery runtime values are drawn on top of the battery icon or next to it. This allows using customized multi-state battery images that wouldn't look good with battery information overlapping the battery image.
- The 'Most Active Programs', 'Power Events Log' and 'Battery Information' dialogs now show a button on the taskbar.
- Since it's global, also added the 'Do not launch multiple sessions of the same application' setting to the More Options dialog in the General tab of Preferences. Also renamed the dialog from 'Advanced Settings' to 'More Options' for consistency with the button that invokes it.
- The Animation Speed slider in a dock Auto-Hide Settings dialog is now disabled if the auto-hide animation is set to No Animation.
- Added new 'Auto Backup Settings' internal command. Intended to be used with the built-in Alarm Manager to make automatic scheduled backups, it makes a backup of the application's settings without prompting the user for a filename. It creates the filename based on the current date and time and stores the backup in the last used backup folder (or C:UsersPublicDocumentsWinStepBackup by default).
- The battery in the Battery Information dialog now displays the style and settings currently selected by the user and glows with the dominant color of the battery image.
- The 'Colorize low and critical battery states' battery module setting now also properly colorizes customized multi-state battery images.
- Added new alternative 'Hue Shift' colorization method which allows color information to be preserved and whites to remain white.
- Changed the Hue shift colorization algorithm to one that is more accurate than Microsoft's solution. This can affect colorization of the Battery Monitor and Wanda fish modules.
- The 'Edge Swipe Settings' buttons in the Behavior tab of the Shelf and Dock Properties panels are now grayed out if the user is using edge bumps instead of edge swipes to activate the dock/Shelf.
- A theme validation is now performed when Restoring settings from a previous backup, so the user doesn't end up with a blank theme if the theme used at the time of the backup no longer exists.
- Added 'Most Active Programs' button to the CPU module settings dialog, to make this feature more visible.
- The Colorize settings are now also directly available in the Themes tab by sliding the UI with the arrow. This allows quick preview of colorization changes without having to constantly open and close the Colorization Settings dialog.
- The Winstep Update Manager now uses the currently selected settings when you click the 'Check for Updates' button in the Advanced tab of Preferences.
- Increased the interpolation quality used to render dock backgrounds.
- The 'Minimize to dock' and 'Combine dock icons with running applications' settings are now only available when 'Show running applications in this dock' is selected.
- Improved the color hot-track algorithm so it also takes into account the average background color when it can't calculate a proper dominant color.
- A black or gray scale tint color now grayscales the bitmap for both the Tint and Hue shift colorizing modes.
- Tweaked the vertical position of the text in the Shelf tabs when running under high-DPI settings.
- Added a new 'Colorize text' option to the Color Settings, enabled by default. Text can now be optionally colorized as well. Disabling this option allows the user to colorize a theme but still be able to tweak text colors manually via the theme 'Fonts' dialog.
- Replaced the Shelf and dock images used in the Docks & Shelves tab in Preferences so they can scale up properly on high DPI displays.
- Added 'Flip Dock Background' option to the Appearence sub-menu of the dock's right-click context menu. Equivalent to toggling the 'Do not flip background for docks at the top of the screen' setting but with immediate effect.
- Added 'Show Container' and 'Browse Container' options to the right-click context menu of the 'Restore Wallpaper' internal command. Allows you to open or browse the folder where the Windows wallpaper is stored.
- Fixed malformed request to GeoIP location server that caused GeoIP location to stop working after 2016/03/17.
- The 'Lookup IP address' internal command would fail if the GeoIP information was not already in the cache.
- The 'Show full right click context menu options?' setting in the More Options dialog of the General tab in Preferences was not sticking.
- The dock could crop the number of visible tray icons in grouped mode when changing the iconsize of the dock.
- Pseudo-3D dock backgrounds like the Leopard theme no longer appear heavilly distorted at certain icon/icon reflection sizes.
- The 'Capture Desktop Settings' dialog, when invoked from a right click context menu, was not saving the settings to the proper location.
- The Shelf could auto-hide while a item delete confirmation dialog was still on screen if the user moved the mouse pointer over the Shelf.
- If the auto-hide delay was too short, the Shelf could auto-hide while it was still performing unrelated animations such as shifting icons after deleting an item, etc...
- Synchronization of the system clock with the Internet Time Servers failed if the regional settings for the SYSTEM account (used by the Winstep Helper Service) used a difference decimal point character than the user account under which the application run (e.g.; "123,4" instead of "123.4" or vice-versa).
- Some routines were still using bilinear instead of bicubic transformations for rescaling bitmaps, which caused the bitmaps to look blurrier than they should.
- Nexus Ultimate would crash if a dock was set to auto-hide when selecting a new theme in the Dock Properties dialog and the user clicked outside the Dock Properties window (which would cause the dock to hide) and then on the themes list.
- Certain dock backgrounds could cause visual glitches when mousing over near the position of a dock that was hidden into a screen edge.
- A dock set to hide/collapse automatically after launching an application (or a sub-dock set to close automatically after launching an application) would fail to do so if the item being launched required admin privileges (i.e.; UAC prompt).
- Always on top docks set to auto-hide for maximized applications will now only do so if they are not reserving screen space (maximized applications would not be overlapped by the dock in this case) and will only auto-hide for full screen applications.
- The preview of the Destop Module Battery Monitor on the Modules tab of Preferences would show a disabled battery if the battery module was not currently in use.
- Fixed some Shelf tab width issues that could occur if the tab font size was too large to fit.
- Drag & Drop of URLs was not working with certain browsers (e.g.; Waterfox) that did not supply the ANSI UniformResourceLocator format. ANSI and Unicode formats are now correctly accepted.
- Changing units of the weather module from C to F or vice-versa only became effective after the cached weather information became stale and the weather information was refreshed.
- The 'Colorize animated fish style' and 'Hue' values for the Wanda module were not being saved under the free version of Nexus and Nexus Ultimate.
- Sub-dock indicators were overlapping other icons and causing visual glitches if the icon spacing was less than 8 pixels.
- The 'Popup delay' slider in the Activation Settings dialog of the Dock Properties Behavior tab appeared enabled even if 'Bring dock forward on mouseover' was not selected.
- With very short auto-hide delays, or under certain circunstances when a dock was set to auto-hide for maximized applications, a dock could auto-hide in the middle of a resize/move animation, which would cause it to glitch.
- Clicking an icon to open an in-Shelf sub-dock could cause a persistent blank white box to appear if in-shelf sub-docks were set to open on mouse over and the sub-dock had started playing the open animation just prior to the click.
- The Winstep Update Manager always failed to download updates with a 'file size mimatch' error on East Asian systems.
- A sub-dock opening animation would briefly flash the full glass blur region at the begining if the 'Aero Glass Blur' effect was enabled.
- A dock would keep bouncing up and down if 'Auto hide for maximized applications' was enabled and the user tried to drag a shortcut from a maximized window into the dock.
- The 'Colorize low and critical battery states' battery module setting was not 'sticking' between restarts of the application.
- The 'Aero Glass' (non-Windows 10) balloon tooltip style was blurring the tooltip window background on Windows 10 systems.
- Under certain circumstances, if a theme's original font style did not exist on the system, text width could be calculated as zero and cause visual glitches.
- Winstep applications should now display the high-resolution icon in Explorer on high-DPI/large icon systems.
- Docks should now be a bit less 'jittery' when inserting items into them via drag & drop.
- A Shelf attached to the top screen edge with the tabs set to appear at the top of the Shelf, was not hiding the tabs properly when collapsed if the 'Hide tabs' setting was enabled.
- The 'Auto Hide at Startup' option could sometimes fail to hide the dock, leaving it visible and in an unresponsive state until you activated it.
- It was very easy (and very annoying!) to accidentally activate a dock at the bottom of the screen via an edge bump when going for the last option in a context menu. This could make the dock cover the menu(s). Edge bumps are now ignored if the mouse pointer is over a menu.
- Getting the current wallpaper to use as the background in certain dialogs with result previews could sometimes fail under Windows 8.x and 10. This could cause changes in previews to overwrite instead of replacing each other (Dock Icon Spacing and Dock Transparency dialogs, for instance).
- The 'Colorize with dominant color of desktop background' feature could stop working properly after going to the Themes tab in Preferences.
- Shelf tab overlay bitmaps (used in the DarkTech theme, for instance) were not obeying the user specified transparency settings.
- The Themes tab in Preferences, unlike the Themes tab in a dock Properties dialog, was unable to display RK Launcher Nexus themes.
- Fixed slow memory leak in the Shelf that occured whenever an icon in the Global icon cache was changed or a Shelf tab was deleted.
- 'Colorize with the dominant color of the desktop background' now works properly with the Windows 7 wallpaper slideshow.
- Fixed another memory leak that occured when switching tabs in the Shelf if one of the tabs contained Winstep modules.
- The Battery Monitor Event Actions dialog would not properly display the background image if the Low Battery alarm was set to 'Do Nothing' and the Critical Battery alarm was set to something other than 'Do Nothing'.
- Fixed some issues displaying and correctly applying RK Launcher dock backgrounds in the Themes tab of Preferences.
- Closing Preferences could interfere with the Windows wallpaper slideshow feature if Windows changed the wallpaper while the Preferences window was still open.
- The application crashed if a context menu got repainted while a thumbnail preview of a document in the menu was being shown.

What's new in this version:
- Updated Spanish language file
- 'Double caching of icons' performance setting is now enabled by default
- The CD Control internal command was displaying an error message on some systems
- Lauching items pointing to shortcuts (.lnk files) of a 64 bit application resulted in a 'File not found' error
- Dropping a shortcut file (.lnk file) into a folder item in the dock now copies/moves the shortcut as it should instead of the target file
- A dock brought to the foreground via an edge bump would auto-hide as soon as the mouse pointer left it even if a sub-dock was currently open
- Double clicking the icon of a running application on the dock would open a second instance of that application
- Mousing over the running application icon of a task that had just closed could result in a 'Access Violation' error
- An always-on-top dock set to hide automatically for maximized windows was not hidding for full screen windows (e.g.; watching a video full screen on Youtube)
- Wallpaper color-hot track is now correctly previewed when trying new themes and wallpapers in the Themes tab
- Fixed the 'Stop' image in the Troubleshooting dialog so it properly scales up on high-DPI systems and displays a flat-image icon on Windows 10 systems
- Decreased the luminance value of the smaller and thinner language identifier text in the Language Bar icon so it's a bit more visible
- The CD Control internal command was unable to eject media on computers that did not support loading media via software
- It is now possible to change an item's icon by drag & dropping an .ICO, .PNG or .TIF file into the icon even if the dock is locked
- The result of a drag & drop operation (i.e.; Copy, Move or Link) is now accurately and immediately reflected even when the dock is locked. As before, pressing the SHIFT key forces a move, and pressing the CTRL key forces a copy. Locked docks do not allow items to be moved/re-arranged within the dock, but they still allow a) customizing dock item icons via drag & drop of image files, b) launching a document with a particular application by dropping that document into the application's icon in the dock and c) copying and moving files into drive folders in the dock
- Locked docks were not accurately reflecting which item was being affected by the file being dropped (i.e.; with unlocked docks, dropping an item before the middle half of a dock icon would insert that item before the icon, dropping it after the middle half would insert the item after the icon. Since locked docks do not allow the insertion of items, this would not accurately reflect which dock item was being targeted by the drag & drop operation)
- If the 'Enable double caching of icons' performance setting was enabled, non-magnified icons on the dock could appear slightly blurred because they were being drawn with the High Quality *Biliner* interpolation mode instead of High Quality *Bicubic*
- The systray icons of a handful of applications (such as KVirc and Agnitum Outpost Pro) were not playing well with the system tray handling of Winstep applications because they reported a pre-Vista notify icon structure to the system but actually expected mouse click messages to be passed using the post NOTIFYICON_VERSION_4 format
- Text on Windows 7-style Balloon tooltips was not being correctly centered vertically
