I've just posted a blog outlining one of the small changes in version 8.1 having to do with the way library tabs appear in the Book, Bible, and Commentary panels.

One request that was fairly frequent from users, especially new users, was to make it so that the library tabs wouldn't "move" when a different tab was selected. If that has ever been a problem for you, you'll appreciate this change in SwordSearcher 8.1.

And you can still use the old behavior if you like.

While you're here, take a look at the other tab appearance settings. If you want to, you can make the active tab a bit more prominent by changing its color, or you can change the font size for the tab text. You can even change the shape of the tabs if you like.

These settings can be found by going to the File menu and choosing Preferences and Settings and selecting the Tab Appearance page.

Read the full article.

The new version 8.1 was released in March! Current users of SwordSearcher can read about upgrading here.

New Modules:

• J. C. Ryle's Expository Thoughts on the Gospels (4 vol. commentary) [RyleETG]
