Bootstrap Grid

The Bootstrap Grid Settings dialog has been completely redesigned (as for the PWA) with a more intuitive and flexible visual editor.

PWA Dark Mode

It is now possible to set the project theme in light, dark or automatic mode: when the value is set to Auto, the application will automatically use the theme of the current device.

New Auto Theme for PWA

New Help Centre

We are in the process of rewriting all of the documentation, eventually there will be more examples and information. TB now uses this new layout by default, although some of the help elements still load the previous documentation.
