What's new in Makagiga 5.0.0 - screenshots

It seems that it took me almost 2 months to write this post ;-)

User Interface

Updated Metal look and feel (it's called "Modern Metal" in Makagiga). Hopefully, version 5.1 will bring more tweaks.

Notepad

New (experimental) syntax highlighting in Notepad editor (see Tool Bar or Menu Bar|View). The old Syntax Highlighting plugin is no longer supported in Makagiga 5.x. Makagiga plugins such as Markdown Preview will provide more syntax highlighters for various markup languages...

Tasks

Search results in table views are now highlighted.

Feed Viewer

Preview in RSS Filters window:

Color Choosers

  • Added "Retro" color palette
  • Added black and white colors to the default "Oxygen" color palette
  • Show "Current" color in dialog window
  • Added History menu (recently selected colors):

Scripting

Built-in script editor brings new output/error console, configurable font, and JavaScript syntax highlighting by default.

Finally, a new plugin is available! :)

Mathematical Formulas Preview plugin allows you to quickly create and view mathematical formulas written in LaTeX. It uses JLaTeXMath library to render images. Install it via menu Tools -> Plugins -> Get More Plugins (requires Makagiga 5.x).
