What's New in the Latest Version 4.7

Last updated on Jan 9, 2024
Old Versions
Modernized and improved performance with Loupe, Dimensions, Guides, and Crosshair. Full support for the latest version of macOS.

NEW FEATURES

• Internal changes for capturing screen:
- Implemented with modern framework that's faster and more reliable
- Increased the refresh rate of the Loupe, Dimensions, and Screens
- Better performance of automatic contrast adjustment at crosshairs
- Screen recording indicator in Sonoma will appear when in use

• Clear Guides at Mouse:
- Hover over a guide and remove it with Shift-Cmd-D [Yay Adrianna!]
- Add new guides with Shift-Cmd-H & V respectively
- Works best with "Create new guides at current mouse position" setting
- Use shortcut at guide intersection to clear both horizontal & vertical

• Added options for reticles on Loupe centerline:
- Open Settings to add tick marks or grid crosses at 10 or 8 unit intervals
- Spacing matches display measurement setting (points or pixels)
- Use for quick alignment or spacing checks

IMPROVEMENTS

• Improved detection with Dimensions tool:
- Works better on subtle patterns, gradients, and materials
- Separate detection for solid colors, gradients, and photos
- New controls in Settings to adjust sensitivity of detected background types
- Lets you sample your design and adjust accuracy of measurement
- Shrinking a frame via Dimensions uses gradient sensitivity

• Better support for Dark Mode with settings adapting for:
- Default colors for Guides, Frames, and Overlay
- Overlay for creating frames interactively (e.g. shrinking a frame)
- Crosshair cursor for maximum contrast

• Loupe now uses setting for Dimensions measurement color
• Default hotkey for creating frame from Dimensions is now Shift-Cmd-0 (conflicted with system shortcut)
• Updated xScope's in-app Help

BUG FIXES
