With the new support for rich-text formatting, you can now elevate your in-app guides tooltips by applying various text styles to your headers and descriptions. Whether you need to emphasize certain content, use different fonts, or apply bold and italics, the rich-text format empowers you to craft visually appealing tooltips that draw users’ attention and communicate information more effectively.

This feature will be especially useful for those looking to create dynamic, polished user guides that stand out, offering a clean and professional look to your tooltips and improving the overall user experience.

One of the previous issues related to the dimming background functionality has been resolved in this version. Previously, due to a last-minute bug, the feature didn’t work as expected. Now, you can rely on this functionality to dim the background properly, making your tooltips stand out and ensuring users stay focused on the information presented.

4. New Tooltips and Extended Color Editor

To make the most of the rich-text capabilities, we’ve also introduced 4 new tooltips that leverage rich-text formatting in both their headers and descriptions.

Additionally, we’ve added an extended color editor with a screen color picker, allowing you to choose colors directly from your screen for a more accurate and customized design.

5. New Clipboard Features: Pasting Tooltip Styles with Precision

This update introduces two new clipboard features that will make your workflow even more efficient. You can now:

  • Paste only the style of the tooltip from the clipboard, allowing you to maintain consistency across multiple tooltips without copying all the content.
  • Paste style of the tooltip’s controls, giving you even more granular control over the design.

These features ensure that you can quickly apply a unified design across your tooltips while saving time on repetitive formatting.

6. Partial Matching for Tooltip Positioning

To offer more flexibility in positioning tooltips, we’ve added support for partial matching of window class name and title. This allows for more precise tooltip placement and better control over dimming background effects, ensuring that tooltips are shown exactly where you need them, regardless of slight variations in window titles or classes.

7. MacOS Stability and Performance Improvements

For our MacOS users, we’ve included a number of stability and performance improvements that enhance the overall experience of using HelloApp Studio on Mac systems. You’ll notice smoother functionality, fewer crashes, and a more reliable platform for creating your tooltips and in-app guides.
