Winstep Xtreme v25.7 Released!

July 29, 2025




An integrated workspace environment, Winstep Xtreme is a powerful suite of applications that merge incredible usability and performance with breathtaking eye candy.

Windows 10 Ready This release adds full support for DBCS Asian languages and is packed with both modernized design and under-the-hood fixes, ensuring better performance, compatibility, and visual polish — especially on Windows 11 and international systems.
Be sure to check your settings and explore the new features after updating!

Please read complete change log below. Winstep Xtreme runs on the 32 and 64 bit versions of Windows 7, 8.x, 10 and 11.


What's New? Highlighted Features:


  • Windows 11-Specific Improvements.

    • Systray Icons Restored: Battery, Net, and Volume icons are now visible again for Windows 11 22H2+, resolving a common frustration for users.


    WIN+D Behavior Fixed: Docks and similar elements now remain visible on Windows 11 24H2 when showing the desktop.
  • Modernized Visuals and UI Enhancements.

    • Windows 11 Visual Update: A new “Use Windows 11 icons” toggle (enabled by default on Win10+) refreshes the interface and other app icons with sleek Windows 11-style images, replacing outdated visuals. Over 70 modern icons were added to the Samples folder, reinforcing the aesthetic.


    Dark Mode Refinement: menus using the default theme now adopt Windows’ accent color when in dark mode, and a new analog clock module styled for dark mode is automatically selected on first run.

    Analog clock module now uses bitmaps for the hour, minute and second hands, including those in the current theme (if available).


    Native Windows Peek is now used when mousing over live preview thumbnails.

    Balloon tooltips now include app icons, improving clarity and visual association.


  • Globalization & Language Updates.

    • Added support for Double-Byte Character Systems (DBCS): Major improvements for Korean, Japanese, and Chinese versions of Windows — fixing drag-and-drop, cropped text, and gibberish character issues.


    UI Language Compatibility Check on startup: Ensures smoother performance in localized environments.

    Language dropdown UI refined: Now automatically resizes to accommodate long names and uses consistent English-first naming across the list.

    New Turkish language file added and Portuguese language file updated.


  • Powerful New Features.

    • New "Sort By" menu option: Folder-type menus can now be sorted by Name, Type, Date Created, Date Modified, or Size — in ascending or descending order.


    Desktop calendar module enhancements: New bitmap support (WsCalLeftArrowM.png and WsCalRightArrowM.png) allows for customized arrow buttons on mouse-over.


    New helper utility (DwmHlp64.exe) included to access 64-bit-only system features from within Winstep (such as native Windows Peek).

    New “Eject USB Device” internal command added — quickly and safely remove drives from your dock or menu.


  • Smarter Weather Experience.


    • DST-Aware Reporting for US States.

    Weather module now DST-aware (US only) and displays local observation time more accurately (with minor caveats due to MSN feed limitations). .


  • Additional Usability Enhancements.


    • Fixes and layout tweaks in several configuration dialogs enhance the overall setup experience.

    Default "Snap to" buttons are now configured across dialogs for better accessibility (if snap to setting enabled in Windows).

    The Theme tab icons now correctly display theme-specific document icons before showing thumbnails.


  • Bug Fixes and Stability Improvements.



    • Fixed bug that could cause some minimized applications to disappear from the taskbar in update v25.6..

    Resolved issue where modules were not restoring correctly when moved out of the NextSTART taskbar.

    Cleaner resource management: Minimized memory leaks from poorly implemented shell context menu extensions.

    Shell properties windows like the dialog for Drive Properties now show properly in the task list.

    Fixed timing issue that could cause the system tray expand window not to pop up.

    Fixed several system tray and taskbar issues in NextSTART.

  • Many other features plus performance and stability improvements! Please see complete change log below...

  • Fixed an issue where "LCID" could appear right after the native name of the language.
  • Minimized leaks of badly written shell context menu extensions.
