Patch 1.0.4


1.0.4 is out now! This update includes the addition of full-scale UI Themes! Below you can see a preview of what to expect from the available themes!

Minor Improvements: 
- Compiled All MapPad Settings Into One Settings Menu. This is in preparation for the 2.0 Collaboration Update that will introduce Accounts, Teams, and real-time interaction with a project between you and your team members!
- Added Themes: Light, Creative & Purple
- Added Keep Screen On Setting. Turning this off will allow Windows to go to sleep and save energy, while leaving it on will prevent Windows from sleeping/showing screensaver so your screen remains on.
- Testing Screen Auto-Scaling (Settings Menu). You may notice that the new Settings menu resizes to 3 different size options depending on MapPad's window size. This is something I'm testing out for now, and if things go smoothly with it, it will be applied to a lot of the other popup menu UI in MapPad. This also is in preparation of a visual accessibility feature planned for a future update: UI Scaling (Small, Default, Large).

Side Note: Channel Selected/Highlight Themes have been depreciated in favor of full scale UI Themes for the time being. This may eventually make a return as Accent Colors, which will allow you to choose a custom color for all "highlightable" UI in MapPad. I'm still exploring whether this is a feasible feature.

2.0 Collaboration Update?
Yes. I've stated very early on that the goal for MapPad was to take things Online so Creative Build Teams can utilize it to it's fullest potential. This (hopefully) will be coming to MapPad by the end of the year, much sooner if possible. Of course, these features will be completely OPTIONAL and you can continue to use MapPad the way you have been without the need to make an account. Account creation will be using Google's API, so everything that has to do with that will be SAFE and SECURE. I'll explain things in more detail as we get closer to that update. This will also be around the time that a couple new features will be making their debut, so you can also look forward to that as well!


That's all the news for now. Make sure you've downloaded MapPad through the itch.io APP to receive this update and future updates automatically!
