NextSTART is an incredibly powerful replacement for the Windows Start Menu, System Tray and Taskbar. This completely customizable and skinnable application will not only make your desktop look good as it will greatly enhance your productivity.

WorkShelf is a powerful multi-paged quick program launcher, desktop replacement and task organizer that can be used as a suplement or alternative to the normal Windows desktop. Also features handy modules such as a talking clock that can synchronize your time with the atomic time servers on the internet as well as an animated recycle bin (More modules comming soon!).

Highlights for this release are much better XP compatibility (for instance, no more problems with the XP Powertoys VDM, the system tray can now be rendered fully transparent even when using the default XP theme and the Recent Documents list no longer appears empty), increased performance with less resource usage, middle click emulation for two button mice, better multi-byte language support (eg. Japanese and Chinese systems), enhanced drag and drop support, NextSTART tasklist and system tray can now be dragged anywhere on the screen and WorkShelf features a new ´sticky shelf´ plus support for semi-transparent ´click-through´ desktop modules.
