What's new at GoodBarber? January 2018
Written by Mathieu Poli on
At the beginning of this year, we emphasized one aspect that is extremely important to us : the design of your applications. As you know, the backbone of GoodBarber is allowing you to create the most beautiful apps, as easily as possible.
The most recent backend feature came from this mindset: the Global Style Menu. The big challenge at GoodBarber is successfully combining countless customization options with an interface that provides a smooth user experience. To make your life easier and allow you to enjoy GoodBarber's full potential, we've released this new menu that allows you to manage the application's overall design from one single menu. You'll save time and it's easier to maintain a homogeneous design throughout all pages of your app.
You can also now modify entire parts of a theme, and apply these changes to all pages of your app in just one click.
Don't hesitate to go explore this new menu that allows you to manage the following design elements :
