Clover 3.7 - 10.5 New Features
New Template Themes
We've completely re-imagined Clover's program templates with four new template themes that have modern looks and updated CSS and HTML, including being HTML5-ready.
The new template themes use jQuery UI so it's easier to create your own themes using ThemeRoller, a jQuery widget (buttons, action icons) CSS generator. Using ThemeRoller, you can select pre-determined color combinations or create your own without writing CSS.
The new template families are:
- Arctic: a crisp, lightweight look.
- Cascadia: a navy blue-based color scheme.
- Nightfall: a bold header with a subtle background.
- Sonora: muted background provides the perfect backdrop for your content.
Non-Flash HTML5 SmartCharts
HTML5 versions of SmartCharts are now included so you can display single-series charts on non-Flash devices such as iPads. With SmartCharts, you can design and integrate real-time animated two and three-dimensional bar charts, pie charts, executive dashboards and more.
Mass Generate Reports
Generating multiple reports is now more convenient with Clover's mass generation feature. This allows you to easily select and generate more than one report at a time from the Tools menu.
IDE Shortcuts
We have made it more efficient to work with the WebSmart/Clover IDE by adding the following new features:
- Ctrl-T shortcut to open a new tab.
- Right-click option, "Close all but me", which closes all tabs except the one you're working on.
- Option to turn off "Open in same IDE" setting.
Open Documents Using Windows Explorer Context Menu
You can now open documents in WebSmart from Windows Explorer's context menu. Simply right-click the file, then select 'Edit with Clover.' This makes it more convenient to open and edit files on the fly.
Automatic HTML Tag Completion
Coding HTML is now more efficient. When you open an HTML tag, WebSmart will now automatically insert the closing tag for you.
