Status Report

Well it has recently come to our attention that not everyone follows us on Facebook, and so I will make an effort to update this blog more often with new information!

Windows 10 is something we've been looking at recently, and we have started updating our apps to start supporting it.  Rename It! Pro is now a Windows 10-based Universal App which is available for both the desktop and mobile versions. This was already available as a Windows 8.1 Universal app, so it was a natural progression to update it and get our feet wet with Windows 10 UWP apps.  All in all, the process to move it to Windows 10 was fairly straightforward, and we were happily able to condense the code base even more than it was before.  Most of the work was done on the UI end, as with Windows 10 you can now resize app windows to nearly any size, and the UI in your app needs to adjust to this or it won't look very good.  Our LCARS apps have this problem since Windows 10 came out, and we will be updating those apps as well in the future. But the UI in those apps is significantly more complex, so it will take some time.  Read on for more info on our focus going forward.
