The Conceptboard Blog

While working on new features, it’s important to improve the basics every now and then. That’s why we redesigned and enhanced all the objects on the board.

There are three simple goals we tried to achieve with this update:

1. to bring the design of comments, text boxes etc. up to date
2. to improve the handling of objects on your boards
3. to add more functionality

Redesign

You may have noticed that the comments on your board look a little different than before. A few added effects can make a big difference!

Since you probably know who you’re working with we hid the names and dates next to the picture. Don’t worry, they show up when hovering over the comment.

The biggest change is probably the object toolbar which we completely redesigned and enhanced. You now find it at the top of every selected object. It’s equipped with a drag handle to make it more simple and elegant to move the objects around.

Get a quick overview of the buttons. Some of them you will only see on specific items (e.g. task status).

Recolor

Another new feature: You are now able to set a background color for text boxes, headlines, rectangles and circles. Please note that headlines and text boxes have a transparent background and border by default. To change the attributes simply click the border or background icon in the object toolbar and select your preferred color.

Resize

We are also happy to announce that we finally implemented this eagerly awaited resize function. All objects, even images or your document’s pages, can now be resized freely. There is also a button to bring them back to the original size (just in case).

We hope you like the new features! And as mentioned before, all of them are already available on your boards.
