O<\/span>live Tree developers have been very busy lately with enhancements to the iPhone version of their Bible Reading Software.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0David Trotz has been doing an outstanding job in leading this team of developers. These are exciting days for users of their software!\u00a0\u00a0 Beta testers\u00a0are currently reviewing\u00a0version 4.09.001868; I’m excited to post some of the enhancements we’re seeing!<\/p>\n

To the right is the new splash screen.\u00a0 Keep in mind that Olive Tree may\u00a0elect to make changes before submitting to Apple … but as it stands, the splash screen sports an attractive company logo with a rich textured cloth look\u00a0in the background.\u00a0 The screen opens the program before text fades in.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Although the Bible Reader software can be configured to look the same as the currently version, the default full screen mode allow more text to be visible.\u00a0\u00a0The display mode\u00a0(full screen or not ) can be made\u00a0by locking or unlocking the main GUI toolbar.\u00a0 This is controlled by an icon that appears when tapping the upper left corner of the text area.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Tapping this area once will reveal the lock\/unlock toolbar icon. Tapping again will toggle the locked state of the icon, and the Toolbar display mode will\u00a0follow the icon state.When in full view mode, the toolbar is only visible a few seconds before rolling off the screen.\u00a0 It can be brought\u00a0back at anytime with a tap to the main screen area. The GUI has the typical Apple gel motif – very attractive!<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/a>Upon careful investigation, current users should notice something missing … the slider button now only appears on command when called upon to do its job, once done, it fades out of view.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Another enhancement of great value is the rotate lock\/unlock button, which can be called up at anytime ( like the slider button, and the toolbar lock button ) by tapping the lower left corner of text.\u00a0 Of course when the phone is rotated it will also display.\u00a0 As advertised, it works very similar to the rotate lock\u00a0feature of the Kindle for iPhone\u00a0App.<\/p>\n

\n

It’s\u00a0difficult to decide what other changes to include in this post, ( there’s lots to review ).\u00a0\u00a0 I’ll mention one more for this post.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>An easy\u00a0feature to cover would be the optional changes to the PopUp Window appearance.\u00a0 There are customized settings to control transparency and shine contrast, as well as background color.\u00a0 With these setting controls, you may have an “Apple” look to Olive Tree’s third reading pane – or – you may take contrast to zero, and transparency to zero to maintain the current standard without the eyecandy “Apple” look – it’s all up to you.<\/p>\n

All in all, I’m impressed with these changes.\u00a0 I’ll try to cover a few more exciting features of the software in the next few days or so …<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
