Well thats going to come in handy with this new robot im working on!! (Cognitive vision) Looking forward to testing.
When will this be a "release" and not a beta? or does it matter?
It doesn't matter - a beta eventually becomes a release once it's been tested and used enough. Using the beta helps us move it quicker to release.
ok, sounds good, thanks DJ
Forgive me if this is a simple question but is there a way to select pallet colors? The dark colors and grays are very hard on my eyes. Thanks
Soon in the next few days. Have a working beta that’s in process. The plan of the theming is to let users select the color theme branded to your product. Thanks for holding on there till it’s ready
Ya, I can't read the gray and dark colors either. Looks cool at first glance but after working with it a little while I have to put on my stronger reading glasses and squint.
Other then being stuck on this color combo (for now) I like the new look. I'm really looking forward to being able to change the color theme.
