v20.1.0.1169 [Jan 28, 2020]
- Updated Portuguese language file.
- Updated Hungarian language file.
- Added Pause, Play, Stop, Next and Previous commands to the right click context menu of the Media Player internal command.
- The application's invisible main control window is now monitored to make sure it's not made visible again by 3rd party applications.
- Added new 'Windows Settings' internal command to open the Windows 10 UWP Windows Settings panel.
- The Most Active Programs History dialog now automatically adjusts font size to make up for very large process names.
- Added new 'Show decimal place for processes' option to the settings of the CPU Meter module. When enabled, any list of running processes - like the one shown in the Most Active Programs dialog - will display a decimal place in the percentage of CPU usage for that process (e.g.; 1.3% instead of just 1%, or 1.8% instead of just 2%).
- Added several new internal commands for accessing Windows 10 settings dialogs: Windows Settings, Apps, System, Network and Internet, Devices, Gaming, Time and Language, Accounts, Personalization, Ease of Access, Phone, Privacy, Windows Update, Search Settings and Power Options. These new Internal Commands are all grouped under 'Internal Commands - Settings' in the insert new item right click context menus.
- Sunrise and sunset times are now correctly calculated for the MSN weather feed, which allows choosing whether to display a moon or a sun icon with nearly 100% accuracy.
- An icon pointing to Explorer.exe in the dock now only displays a running indicator if there are Explorer windows open.
- The dock can now be docked to and undocked from any screen edge and monitor by simply dragging it (users can press the ALT key while left clicking to make it easier). When docked it will show some initial resistance to being undocked by 'shaking' when about to detach. When docking or undocking by dragging, the Detach event sounds to give the user some audio feedback. To dock an horizontal dock drag it so the top edge touches the top screen edge or the bottom edge touches the bottom screen edge. To dock an horizontal dock to the side of the screen so it changes orientation, slowly drag it until the mouse pointer nearly touches the desired screen edge. To prevent the dock from accidentally docking when moving it from one monitor to another, the auto-docking mechanism is speed sensitive: move across monitors rapidly to prevent the auto-docking mechanism from kicking in. The auto-docking/snap-to feature can be disabled in the 'More Options' dialog of the Behavior tab of Preferences.
- The width of checkboxes in the User Interface is now automatically cropped so that clicking on a blank space right after the setting description no longer toggles the setting.
- Added 'Disable simulated ALT key press when forcing windows to the foreground' setting to the More Options dialog in the General tab of Preferences. This should be checked only if having trouble with ALT TAB or the ALT key getting stuck.
- The Winstep Update Manager will now report hidden updates if the user performs a manual check for updates.
- Increased the transparency of the non-lit LCD digits for better readability in full screen alarms/clock/sleep time
- Under Windows 10 viewing the Change Log could freeze the application for a long time or even crash it with an out of memory error.
- The 'snap mouse pointer to default button' feature only worked when using the 'Standard User Interface' mode.
- Disabling or Enabling icon reflections in the dock via the right click context menu would cause icons of UWP apps to show as question marks.
- Disabling the "Do not launch multiple sessions on the same application" setting would still require the user to double click on an icon to launch another session if the 'Combine dock icons with running applications' setting was also enabled.
- The sub-menu drop down delay setting in the Behavior tab of Preferences had no effect.
- On modern systems running more than 256 simultaneous processes, the CPU hog list might not accurately reflect the applications using the most of the CPU at the time. This was fixed in the Winstep service by doubling the limit to 512 simultaneous processes.
- Themes with no name on the INI configuration file would appear on Theme right click context menus as blank entries. They now appear labeled as 'Untitled'.
- Certain SYSTEM processes were not being enumerated properly and/or always returned 0% CPU and RAM usage.
- METAR weather information retrival is now automatically disabled if the application crashes when using a 3rd party DLL to access NOAA's website via HTTPS.
- The MSN weather feed was not reporting the correct observation time for locations outside the GMT timezone.
- The first forecast day of the MSN weather feed sometimes pointed to the previous day, which caused the 5 day forecast to be out by one day (e.g.; the forecast for Fri would appear on the Sat slot).
v18.12.1161 [Jan 22, 2018]
v18.10 adds the ability to grayscale and colorize icons manually or automatically based on your current wallpaper or Windows 10 accent color (great for colorizing minimalistic themes with monochrome icons), icons in Shelves to be centered or right justified, context menus to be scaled up to 200 percent, changing the height of Drawers, improved handling of Win32 applications wrapped as UWP apps, and much more.
v17.14 [Jan 27, 2017]
- more alarm options for the weekly schedule.
- many other performance and stability improvements.
v16.6.0.1043 [Jun 27, 2016]
May include unspecified updates, enhancements, or bug fixes.
v16.3.0.1030 [Feb 12, 2016]
Updated Spanish language file.
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.
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.
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.
The Quick Launch section in the Taskbar was not automatically reflecting changes made to the name of Windows Quick Launch shortcuts.
Disabling the capture of WorkShelf Desktop Modules into the taskbar as icons was not automatically changing the format of the captured desktop modules, only the opposite did.
Fixed issue in which a WorkShelf module captured into the NextSTART taskbar might fail to appear if the taskbar was previously hidden or collapsed.
v12.2.0.995 [Mar 20, 2012]
Display running applications on the dock with task grouping, filtering and icon customization options.
