NextSTART
-
Version
3.0
NextSTART, by Winstep Software Technologies, is a
powerful, skinnable, and dynamic pop-up menu that can
be used as a replacement or supplement to the Windows
Start Menu and taskbar. NextStart also offers an
incredible amount of flexibility so that the user can
customize it to his needs and desires.
Unlike many other menu programs, NextStart does NOT
require you to re-enter the paths to all the programs
listed on your Start Menu. NextStart will
automatically read the directory structure of your
Programs folder(s) and create a menu for you on the
fly! In fact, thanks to NextStart's dynamic menu
support, it will create as many menus as you wish
based on any hard drive or directory!
NextSTART features built-in task management to control
running apps and the Windows System Tray. Gain access
to your running apps via handy task icons/tiles right
on your desktop. Best of all, you can choose the
position of the "task list", the style, and even which
icons should be displayed for specific applications.
NS also allows you to place the Systray anywhere on
your desktop!
Not happy with the default NextSTART configuration?
Would you prefer a menu system that emulated BeOS or
Mac? How about transparent menus? No problem...You can
configure how the menus look and behave! Choose where
scroll-buttons are located, how menu selection is
made, which mouse button activates the menus, assign
hot keys and more! You can choose the font, the size,
the colors (even use gradients and bitmaps with
transparency!), 3D effects, custom icons and, still,
more! In fact, thanks to the improved Theme support of
the NextSTART Preferences Manager you can now import
and export themes based on the above options. Download
