Winstep Nexus is a desktop beautification and navigation software highly imitating the Dock system of Mac OS X. It's similar to the Y'z Dock in functionality, but offers a fancier and friendlier user interface (coming with dozens of themes), and makes your desktop experience more lively and interesting. In addition, it also provides many prominent and cool features that only come with Mac OS, such as widgets, multiple mouse-over effects, skins, drag operations, icon reflections, blurry backgrounds, system trays, taskbars, etc.

Using shortcuts (Alt + Tab) to switch among multiple programs is very convenient, but we can't find any option about it in the system.
