Download Nexus Dock for Windows 10

From here, you can download Nexus Dock for Windows 10. Furthermore, I have also explained how to easily set up Nexus Dock & Icons on your PC.

Nexus Dock

Nexus Dock comes from Winstep technologies. If you are looking forward to replacing your Windows PC’s task bar with something more beautiful and interactive, Nexus Dock is all you need. It takes the Desktop Customisation to a whole new level. If you have ever used a Macbook, you must have noted how icons appear in its dock that sticks to the bottom of the screen. Nexus Dock seems to be providing a similar experience, but of course, with a lot of customisation options.

The Nexus Dock brings a set of basic icons by default. Users will get the Start Menu, Clock, Recycle Bin, CPU Meter, RAM Meter, Weather, Browser, Media Player, and Screen Capture buttons. These buttons will perform the actions that your computer normally does. Remember that the Nexus Dock is just a UI skin, its functionality is pretty basic.

The Dock will impress you at the very first glance, but that’s not it. Clickin on the Nexus button will take you to its options and that’s where the real fun begins. Using the settings, you can change every single element of the dock starting from the icon size to number of icons, an then replacing the icons with your favorite icons.

When you go into the settings of Nexus Dock, the very first option you will find is the Modules Section. This is the section where the pre-installed options/icons of the Nexus Dock appear. You can select what modules you want to display in the Dock. All elements of a particular module can be customised from this menu.

Next is the Position option. You can make the Nexus Dock appear on the top, bottom, left, and right. You can either hide your taskbar or just use the Nexus Dock as an addon like I have done. I am using Nexus Dock on the right side in addition to my Taskbar.

The Behaviour of Nexus Dock can be changed too. Whether you want to hide the Nexus Dock when you move the mouse away, or you want it to pop-out or pop-in, all that can be done using the Behaviour settings. You can also change the opening/closing effects of the icons. Nexus Dock produces sounds too and these sounds can be controlled using the Sounds section. The Dock further has a number of pre-loaded themes and you can also make your own themes too.

Nexus Dock is huge and quite overwhelming. The best way to master this incredible piece of UI customisation is to use it and learn it yourself. It’s very easy to understand.

Go ahead, download the Nexus Dock for Windows. I have also written a tutorial to use custom icons with Nexus Dock to give it a more appealing look.
