What's new in Star Check Writer 8.10
Apr 26, 2022
- New version release. Re-write of the application to new development version on W11 system which required a rewrite for a lot of the coding used in the application. Cleaned up a bunch of internal workings that are not seen but required. New storage of settings for the application has been put into place. Are going to a new theme based graphics system to change the look and feel of the application along with resizing components to display enlarged screens and fields. Added a new update routine to place more control over whether an update is available and free or not. Will keep you from updating if not under Support Maintenance as to not surprise anyone with a need to purchase an update if they don't know or not. Added a new Focus Helper setting that if turned on, will highlight the field that you are currently focused on in a red outline to show you easier exactly where your cursor is located on the screens.
