Large update in the works…

I have another update coming in a week or so few weeks.  I’ll be upgrading the overall look and feel, including more-realistic looking 3D button skins. Pop-up dialogs will be tweaked (slightly inspired by the Android Holo theme). ICS and JellyBean devices will also get the Holo-themed options and settings menus.

Also included in this update will be a much nicer, dual-pane tablet layout for 10″ tablets. I’m not sure if 7″ tablets will have enough real estate for it but I will see.

8/9/2012 *Edit* I’m working on the last few bits of polish and testing.  I’m hoping to release V1.10 in a few days.  7″ tablets did make the cut for a dual pane horizontal layout.  I’ll post a full change-list upon release.

V1.09 Released

I have just released V1.09 to the Google Play store with an important update for some users.  Long story short, the Android “recommended” way of setting font sizes is very inconsistent because devices get grouped together which are quite different.  Hence, I created a new system that should give a more consistent look no matter the device.  The Motorola Atrix, Galaxy Nexus and 7-inch tablets should really notice an improvement.  More “standard” devices, like a Galaxy S2, won’t notice much of anything.
