Apologies for the bloated comment. System tray support in a dock would be absolutely fantastic (and I would buy the extreme for it and quite happily just run that module). This is wonderful news. (I have vented about objectdock in the wincustomize forums where I am meant to by the way, you start to try other places when no one listens though after a while, sorry about that).

Is there a feature comparison between ObjectDock Plus and NeXuS anywhere?

Not that I am aware of. But if you're comparing the Plus (paid) version of ObjectDock, then you should compare it with Winstep Xtreme, not the free version of Nexus.  :)

My Xtreme sub ran out a couple of weeks ago and I'll have to wait 'til next week before I can renew, but it all sounds so interesting and I'm anxious to see all the new features of 9.11..

I'm running Win 7 x64 Home Premium and haven't installed Xtreme as yet (distracted and kept forgetting), but I'll certainly be putting it on in the next few minutes.  Having no Winstep Xtreme on my PC is like being naked in the mall.

I knew there was something missing :blush: ;)
