What's New in Version 2023.1?

With each new version of the Designer software it gets better and more feature rich, and version 2023.1 is no exception! This list highlights some of the changes. For a full list of release notes click here.

Open Dialog Keyword Search
There is now a Keywords text field in the Open Dashboard dialog. This will check the entered text against the names of the dashboards on your local computer. This will filter the results, showing only those dashboards whose names are an exact or partial match.

Custom Colors Now Saved
Custom colors are now saved by default when you exit the Designer. You can turn this functionality off by going to the Colors tab in the settings dialog and unchecking the Save Custom Colors option.

You can also remove a color from the list of custom colors, by right clicking on the custom colors in the Color Chooser Dialog, and selecting the 'Delete Color' option from the popup menu.

Counter-Clockwise Gauges
Gauges can now rotate in a counter-clockwise direction as well as the standard clockwise direction. This option is set in the Dial Configuration section drop down using the Direction drop down.

Graphs Include Zones
Zones are now available for use with this tool. By default all graphs have one zone. You can add up to 4 zones to a graph. Zones allow you to have the graph fill up in an uneven manner. For example if the graph displayed RPM from 1,000 to 8,000, you could have two zones, with the first showing RPM under 4,000 in the first 25% of the graph, then the second zone could show RPM above 4,000 using the remaining 75% of the graph.

Class Specific Competitors
There is now an option to have the object apply to only cars in your class. Check the 'Show Your Class Only' option to enable this. If this is not checked then the behavior is the same as in previous versions, where the entire field is used.

Many New Widgets
Added many new widget options including: sector time options, iRating change, previous lap time.
