Joomla 4 Template Export (Beta)
We have added support for the export of the Joomla 4 Template from the Desktop Applications.
In the Export dialog, you can choose the Joomla 4. x.
NOTE: In this update, you can export only the Template for Joomla 4. We are working on the Editor Extension for Joomla 4, which will be available in future updates.
Quick Access Panels
We have made several improvements in the Quick Access Panels.
Site Settings Panel Search
Now you can find the required settings faster by typing letters in the Search field in the Site Settings Panel.
Help Panel Search
You can also search the Nicepage Documentation in the Help Panel by typing letters in the Search field.
Theme Settings Panel Author
To simplify the location of the Author field in the Site Settings, we have added the Author Item into the Site Settings Panel, which opens the Theme Tab in the Site Settings.
Folders (Beta)
We have also improved the user experience with the Page Folders.
Keep Open Folder
We have changed the behavior of the open state for the Page Folder. Now while switching the Panels in the Quick Access, the opened Folder remains open.
Open Folder for Active Page
If you open a Page, you will see the entire open Folders' path in the Pages Panel.
Theme Settings in Site Properties
After removing the Theme links in the Site Settings, users had difficulties finding Theme Settings. Therefore, we have added the Theme Button in the General Tab of the Site Settings to simplify it.
Previously, you could use the Import Block operation only from the Side Menu. We have also added this option to the Context Menu of a Page, so when there are no Blocks on a Page, you can import a Block without adding an extra Block.
Transparency In Color Box
We have added the checkered background for the Color Box in the Property Panel, so you understand if you have added a Custom Color with the Transparency.
Icons
Our usability tests show that Icon Properties need improvements.
Change Icon Preview
We have added the Icon Preview near the Change Icon Button in the Property Panel.
In-Text Icon Position
Users like to add icons in texts. However, previously, it was not that convenient to work with them. To change the Icon position, you had to cut and paste it to another text side. To simplify this, we have added the Icon Align buttons allowing to change position automatically.
In-Text Icon Size In Pixels
We have added the Icon Size slider to simplify its resize, and now it is in pixels. As for many users, ratio sizing was not noticeable.
In-Text Icon Offset
We have also added the Offset for the In-Text Icon allowing you to fine-tune its positioning by the Text.
