Jello Dashboard 5.00.5 beta

I have just finished the fifth update (a really important one) to Jello Dashboard. It is almost a month earlier but regarding its importance it had to be ready as soon as possible.

This release fixes many bugs, but introduces a small number of new features although the users request list is getting bigger!

New Featrures for 5.00.5

• User’s last Sort order is now saved in grids
• A right click context menu to all views!
• Abillity to change theme from the Settings screen/Core combo box (4 themes just for testing for the time being)
• Go to folder function. Fires with ctrl+G from any screen and lets user enter an Outlook folder name to navigate to
• Abillity to manual edit currently used settings. This is intented for advanced users or developers.

*You really should check out the Go to function. Pressing Ctrl+G gives you the ability to immediately navigate to any outlook folder or Jello tag by typing some characters of its name.
