Application Performance Boost

We constantly work on performance optimization, which resulted in today's boost of up to 25% for the Nicepage Desktop Applications.

Our tests showed 20-25% performance increases for Windows and 40% for Apple ARM computers. Some computers show an increase in performance of up to 30%.

Run On Mac OS With Intel CPU

The latest Apple update to Sonoma and higher made the previous versions of Nicepage incompatible with Apple computers built on Intel CPUs. The Apple computers with ARM CPUs did not have such an issue.

We have fixed this issue, and now you can use Nicepage on all Apple computers with Intel CPUs without limitations.

Windows 7 And 8 Support Discontinued

Microsoft discontinued support for Windows 7 in 2020 and Windows 8 in 2023. Therefore, many manufacturers of development software also discontinued support for these operating systems.

Since we use the newest versions of development tools, we had to move to Windows 10 and discontinue support of Windows 7 and 8 support in the Desktop applications.

The application installed on Windows 7 and 8 will not receive update notifications, and newer installations downloaded from nicepage.com will not start.

If you do not want to upgrade to Windows 10 and want to use the latest Nicepage update, you can move your projects online.

Animation Properties Improved

Animation Presets Collapsed

We optimized the display of the Presets for the Run on Display, Hover, Box Hover, Image Background Hover, and Start Position Animation Types, showing them in one line in the Property Panel after the application.

On Scroll Animations Separated

We have separated the Scroll Animations, and now the Sunc On Scroll and Run On Display Animations are separate in the Property Panel, allowing easier management.

Add Panel Improved

Hide Quick Access On Add

We now hide the Quick Access Pane when the Add Panel is open for a clearer User Interface.

Partial Overlap Elements With Blocks

We also overlap Elements partially when adding a new Block.

Theme Colors & Fonts Improved

Theme Colors & Fonts In Settings

Due to the usability tests, we added the Theme Colors & Fonts link to the Quick Access Settings Panel.

Theme Settings Navigation Reworked

We have also improved the navigation between the Theme Elements.

Theme Settings In Quick Access

We have moved the Theme Settings Icon closer to Site Settings and separated this group on the Quick Access Pane.

Currency Symbol Automatically

We have fixed the display of the Currency Symbol to be shown automatically based on the user's locale. For example, for the Switzerland, it will show CHF.

We added the titles to be shown on the Header and Footer, as new users do not understand those block dimensions.

Slider Arrow Width & Height

We have changed the properties to set the Arrow Icon for the Slider Elements. Now, you can adjust the Width and Height of the Arrows.
