⏳ Info updated 2023-05-03

In development...

• Alternative color presets for Base Designs
• Custom colors picker (Pro feature)

✅ Released 2023-05-03

This upgrade simplifies the user experience of the app and adds some minor general quality improvements.

User-facing new features

• New fields visible in the Setting and Pro License -tabs
• Infinite loop -checkbox option in the Headlines base layer
• "Factory reset" functionality is introduced in the Settings tab. This is for recovering from a persistent error, such as corrupted data. This will remove all user-saved settings, including images and the Pro license. Once removed the graphics rendering will not work unless Zoom Video is turned off and on - or the app is closed and restarted.

• Headline looping (re)enabled with a checkbox
• Move settings from the "welcome view" to the Settings tab
  

• base design selector
• image uploading
• Move licensing fields from the "welcome view" to the Pro License tab
  
• Add leading zeros to minutes and hours in 24h clock formats
