Japanese, Korean and Windows 10
新機能· 4
- NiveDock now speaks Japanese and Korean.
- Windows 10 is supported: the System Dock shows its icons, Store apps have their logos and the dock makes way for Start.
- If Microsoft Edge WebView2 is missing, NiveDock says so and offers the download.
- First start thanks beta testers; from 25 December a daily reminder says the beta has ended and NiveDock runs free through 31 December.
修正· 4
- Icons in the System Dock look as the apps draw them, without grey squares, and one-colour icons show in the app's colours (on by default for new installs).
- The calendar names the day once, so events after midnight keep their titles.
- The Windows taskbar disappears faster at start, and app menus list the files opened lately.
- Many smaller fixes for translations and small screens.
A lighter dock and a licence that stays
新機能· 2
- The launcher's app menu can open the program's file location.
- A licence you bought keeps working on its PC for good, also offline.
改善· 3
- The dock uses far less processor and graphics power: at rest about a third of before on a large screen.
- Start-up no longer waits for the taskbar or the notification area, and the app is smaller.
- Launcher search ignores accents, so “zlutoucky” finds “Žluťoučký”.
修正· 12
- The dock no longer freezes with refraction on large screens.
- If the beta ends while the dock is running, the trial week starts at once instead of the dock locking for hours.
- Two tray icons of one program each get their own place, and a click always reaches the right app.
- Tray icons that change, such as badges, keep up in the System Dock, and OneDrive no longer shows twice.
- After an update with the installer, the dock starts again by itself.
- Maximized windows end above the dock on every monitor, and changing the display scale no longer misplaces the dock.
- Windows 11 apps such as Notepad and Paint pin as one icon with their own logo, and app tasks show in the right-click menu the first time too.
- Damaged saved settings come back from the last good copy, and importing a file that is not a profile no longer empties the dock.
- Settings, the welcome window and pop-ups fit on small screens such as 1024×768 and 1280×720.
- High contrast shows the CPU, RAM and Disk rings and the search icon.
- Small widgets use shorter texts so nothing is cut off, and screen readers name every button and switch.
- Uninstalling removes the installer's leftovers and keeps your settings and licence.
Free without a key through 30 November

An orb gallery for the launcher
