Do you like to customize your software to suit your needs or just your personal taste? Then we have big news for you today, as we have just introduced four “Skin” choices in your Comic Connect software:

• Default (the standard look, as it was before, so dark toolbars, light content)
• Dark (dark toolbars, dark content)
• Light (light toolbars, light content)
• Blue (shades of blue, with yellow highlights)

On top of that, we have given you 3 template style choices for the Comic Details area: Dark, Light and Blue. Either to match your Skin choice, or to mix to up, it’s up to you.

Both the Skin and Template selectors can be found in the Settings screen, under Customization.

A huge v4.3 update for your CLZ Comics app is now available.
And prepare to be shocked 🙂 (in a good way, don’t worry):

The app looks completely different now, with a cleaner brighter look and an improved user interface.

New:

• New “Material”-based interface, with two skins/themes: Light & Dark.
  (The app now starts in the Light skin. If you prefer the Dark look, just use the View menu top right)
• Big floating blue “+” button for adding movies.
• Access all other features and tools from “hamburger” menu top left.
• Clear and easy switch between All / In Collection / Wish List at the top.
• Access all other view options from menu on top right.
• Add screen: tabs at the top to switch between By Title and By Barcode modes.
• Add Manually is now a separate menu item in the menu on the left.
• Redesigned book list entries.
• Old Import from Comic Collector has been moved to Settings screen!

Improvements:

• Cloud Syncing: Now does up to 5 retries when a sync action fails because of a temporary connection problem.
• Edit Comic: Improved “search as you type” behaviour of search boxes for adding creators and characters.
• Dark Skin: active window now has a light grey border, making it stand out more when windows overlap.

Fixed:

• Screen started to “flicker” after leaving the program inactive for a few minutes.
• Add Automatically: selecting/checking issues could be *very* slow in some cases.
• Add Automatically: adding a checked result would sometimes uncheck a result from another search in the queue.
• Main Screen / Two Panel Mode: selection status text would sometimes show an invalid text when no comics were showing in the list.
• Edit Multiple: F8 to clear didn’t work for memo fields like Plot and Notes.
• Edit Multiple: “Quantity” field was always cleared.
• Link Comics: multiple problems since the introduction of the Dark Skin.

NEW: Choose between Light, Dark or System skins

Yes, We’re getting rid of the gray!

Comic Collector now comes with a skin system, which affects the look of all screens in the program,
main screen, edit screens, add auto-screen, sync screen etc.. even the settings screens.

We have designed two different skins for you to choose from: Light and Dark.
The third option “System” is basically the old pre-v16.3 look.

• Light: A clean look, white backgrounds, dark fonts. Very readable, easy on the eye.
• Dark: A cool looking, modern design, with dark backgrounds, light fonts.
• System: Keep things as it was, with the program following your Windows theme.

Please note:
The program now defaults to the Dark Skin. You can change to a different Skin using the Skin option in the View menu.
