The worlds most advanced multitouch software suite continues to raise the bar to help and engage people to interact with touch screens.
This October we will release the 33rd version of Snowflake Suite, version 3.1.
The products has been developed for over 5 years and almost 25 man years have been put into creating this solution, so we are proud to have reached another milestone with this latest upcoming release.
Existing customers and partners will be able to upgrade cost free.
Check out below whats new:
- Added Modern UI / Windows 8 inspired menu layout
Windows 8 is coming out this October and Snowflake has already been compatible with Win 8 since the first version came out for developers earlier this year.
As this more touch centred version of Windows introduces a so called Modern UI with tiles, inspired by Microsoft we felt it would be beneficial to users to add a similar feel to Snowflake, as a part of educating the people of the paradigm shift that is taking place.
This way users better understand touch solutions as they become more consistent all across the board.
We even categorised the applications according to their individual groups Media and Business content, Gaming and Creative.
Switch between the different categories, Win 8 style, simply by swiping your fingers.
Of course via the Configuration Editor, you will be able to create your own categories, switch applications around, change button colors etc.
- Added swipe support and page indicators to the grid menu
The swipe function to change pages is now also available in the grid menu and the handy page indicator, iPhone style, shows you on which page you are.
- Added support for exiting Snowflake via password
Are you running Snowflake in a public environment where you don't want users to exit the software and let them loose on the operating system?
Keep two fingers on the corner menu in the menu main interface for 10 seconds and an onscreen keyboard pops up asking you for a password in order to be able to exit.
The password can be set in the Configuration Editor that comes pre-installed with Snowflake.
This feature is ideal for public environments such as kiosks, points of interest (POI) and points of sale (POS).
