What's new in Quick 'n Easy Web Builder 7.0?

New Icons
The toolbars, menus and toolbox have redesigned icons. The style is thin, lined & colored, inspired by the new icons introduced by Microsoft® in the products of Office 365® and 2019 suites.

Shape Dividers
- Added Shape divider to layer, layout grid and flex box container. Shape dividers are SVG based shapes that can be used to separate the sections of a page.
There are more than a dozens shapes you can choose from, but you can also add custom shape SVG files.

Unsplash Integration
- Browse thousands of free-to-use, high quality images from Unsplash directly within WYSIWYG Web Builder.

macOS Dark Mode
- Added support for Dark Mode in macOS Mojave.

Toasts
- Toasts are lightweight notifications designed to mimic the push notifications that have been popularized by mobile and desktop operating systems. They can be displayed at page load or with delay. Multiple Toasts will automatically stack vertically.

Preloader
- Added the ability to an animated preloader image to the page (in Page Properties). 10 (gif) animation are included, but you can also add use own images.
A preloader (alos known as loading screen) is what you see on some sites before the main content of the web page is loaded.
Preloaders are simple (GIF) animations that are used to keep visitors entertained while server operations finish processing.

Wrap Text
- Added support for floating layout, so the 'Wrap Text' can be used inside a layout grid. This makes it possible to wrap text around images or other objects. Child elements can either float left or right.
- Added experimental support for CSS's shape-outside. This will wrap the text around the outline of a (transparent) image or shape, making it possible to wrap text around complex objects rather than simple rectangular boxes. Note that this will only work in modern browsers (Safari, Chome, FireFox, not in IE or Edge!)

Card Container
- Added 'Card Container' object. This is a dedicated container for Cards to simplify laying out a series of cards.

Cards
- Added 'Copy' button to quickly clone a card item.
- Added the ability to set the alignment for each text item indivually, including justify.
- Added the ability to add YouTube/Vimeo videos to Cards.
- Added 'HTML' card item type. This adds the ability to add custom HTML items to the card. For example, Google Maps, Facebook scripts etc.
- Added the ability to add padding between border and image of a card item.
- Added support for animations and transitions to card items. Each card item can have its own animations and transitions! Transitions can also be synhronized. This can be useful if you want to trigger all transtions at the same time when you move the mouse over the card instead of over each card item individually.

Flex Grid
- Added 'Easy Mode'. Many users have asked an easier way to control the flexgrid without having to deal with flexbox.
In "Easy Mode, the flexgrid behaves just like the Layout grid.
- The Flex Grid editor now displays a preview of the alignment for the selected area to get a better idea of result.

Layout Grid
- Added 'Footer (fixed)' and 'Footer (floating)' mode. This makes it possible to use a layout grid as (fixed) footer. This also works with master pages.
- Added 'Sticky' mode. A sticky Layout Grid is treated as relatively positioned element until it reaches the top, at which point it is sticks to the top. This is standard HTML feature that only works in modern browsers (not in IE/Edge).

Flex Container
- Added 'Footer (fixed)' and 'Footer (floating)' mode. This makes it possible to use a Flex Container as (fixed) footer. This also works with master pages.
- Added 'Sticky' mode. A sticky Flex Container is treated as relatively positioned element until it reaches the top, at which point it is sticks to the top. This is a relative new HTML feature and requires a modern browser: https://caniuse.com/#search=sticky

Marquee
- The unofficial <marquee> tag has been replaced with CSS3 animations for better compatibility with (modern) browsers. W3C compliant!
- Added 'star wars' behavior. Implements Stars Wars-like 3D scrolling.

Shape / Polygon / Curve / Scribble / Line
- Shapes can now also be exported in SVG format.
- Added 'SVG path animation' option. This adds the ability to animate the border (stroke) of SVG shapes, textart, clipart. This makes it look like the shape/text is drawn on the web page in real-time;)

Formatting
- Added 'Copy Style' and Paste Style' command to object's context menu. This make it possible to quickly copy style properties to multiple objects (in addition to the format painter).

Style Manager
- Added 'Filter' properties. The filter property defines visual effects, like blur, brightness, contrast, grayscale, hue-rotate, invert, saturate and sepia. The effect will be applied to the obejcty and all its children.
- Added 'Backdrop Filter' properties. The backdrop-filter property lets you apply graphical effects to the area behind an element. Because it applies to everything behind the element, to see the effect you must make the element or its background at least partially transparent.
- Added the ability to set the alpha value of the background and gradient color.

Page
- Added 'Facebook App ID' property (fb:app_id) to Open Graph Meta Tags. Facebook App ID tags lets Facebook know the identify of your site, which provides additional benefits like social analytics, comments moderation and authentication capabilities to your site.
- 'Disable scroll transitions on small screens' in Page Properties now also disables parallax effect.

SEO
- Added 'Canonical URL' property. If you have different pages with similar content (for example, a page with both a mobile and a desktop version), Google sees these as duplicate versions of the same page. Google will choose one URL as the canonical version and crawl that, and all other URLs will be considered duplicate URLs and crawled less often.
More information: https://support.google.com/webmasters/a ... 9066?hl=en
- Added 'hreflang' configuration. The hreflang attribute tells Google which language you are using on a specific page, so the search engine can serve that result to users searching in that language. The links will also be added to the site map.
More information: https://support.google.com/webmasters/a ... 9077?hl=en

Web Icons
- Added the ability to add 32x32 and 64x64 favorite icons to support modern browsers. These icons are in standard PNG format.
- Added the ability to configure multiple Apple Touch Icons to target different devices.

General
- Added "Open the most recent used page of the project" option. When loading the project, this will open the page that was active when you last saved the project.
- Added 'AutoSave' option. This automatically saves the active project at the specified interval.
- Added the ability to disable background image rendering in the workspace (View->Render Background Image). This will improve the overall performance of the application during design time when using large background images. This does not affect the published page.

Response Web Design
- Added 'Automatically scale new objects in other breakpoints' option (Tools -> Options -> General).
Normally when you insert a new object, it will be inserted at the same position and with the same size as the default view. The new option 'Automatically scale new objects in other breakpoints' is enabled, new objects will automatically scale and reposition in other breakpoints relative to the breakpoint size. It will also scale the font size of some objects when possible. This may speed of the implementation of (fixed) responsive layouts.
- The option "Include min-width in CSS3 media queries " has been replace with “Activate breakpoints when browser window is smaller than the device width” and “Activate breakpoints when browser window is larger than the device width” to make the functionality more clear. Also, ‘max-width’ has been renamed to ‘device width’.

Object Manager
- Added 'Assets Folder' property (context menu). This adds the ability to specify a different output folder per object! For example, set the images folder for one object (gallery) to a different folder. This overrides the global publish settings.

Publish
- Added the possibility to use wildcards in Publish File types (Tools->Options->Publish). This makes it possible to publish specific files (based on the filename, in addition to file extensions) to a different folder.
- Publish File types are now saved in the project file so they can be different for each project.

Preview
- Added 'Preview current page' option in addition to 'Preview entire website'.

Events
- Added 'self' target. When you select this as the target then WWB will automatically use the ID of the current object. This may be useful when you copy the object, so you do not have to manually edit the 'self' events.
- Added 'enable' and ‘disable’ actions. This can be used to disable/enable a form elements (button, checkbox, radio button, editbox, combobox, textarea).
