I’ve updated Popling to version 0.5043 with some bug fixes and a new feature.

New Styles Preference
I’ve included a new styles preference that allows you to select different color schemes and font settings for the app. For people learning Kanji and/or vocabulary there is a special style called Large Vocab that will make those hard to read characters bigger. The styles available should grow in the future.

Fixes
This release also fixes a bug in the prefs when window which caused the save button to be difficult to click. Also accidental selecting of text in the notify window and the preferences tab should be fixed as well.

New version of the desktop beta available… .0517, fixes problems new users had entering user and pass with beta version. Like the previous beta, this one isn’t for the shy or those expecting error free software.

After a few weeks of hard work, a beta of the new desktop app is ready to be tested. I’ve completely rewritten the interface, enhanced stability and added a few small features.

If you don’t mind helping me work through some bugs, sending me the odd log file and commenting profusely about what you’ve found, visit the new Desktop Beta page. I’m looking forward to your comments and suggestions!

After a long absence caused by a deadly combination of summer time, quite a few trips to Baja and too much client work, I’m back on it. Today, I have for you a new release of the desktop application that allows you to:

• Choose the corner of the screen the notification displays in
• Flag cards for incorrect, retention errors and spam.
• New features display on upgrade

As always, bug reports are most appreciated!
