Set the transparency level of the menu background when a color is specified. Using a background image will override this setting. (see screenshots below)

Opera Mini Support
Option to launch websites using the Opera Mini browser (note: this feature only works if opera mini was started using this function or launched from QL originally. Starting opera mini by using it's icon will cause this feature to not work)

Disclaimer:
This update represents literally months of work. A lot of the infrastructure to the app and also to the activation process and the nikkisoft server has been changed. Therefore some of you may experience an issue with a bug or two or activation problems or something. We've tested the app to the best of our ability however 18 beta testers do not equal 1000's of users so something might come up. If you have any issues just contact nikkisoft support and I'll take care of everything as quickly as possible.


Special thanks to the Beta testers' hard work in helping me get this version ready.
3.0 Beta testers should contact me on how to receive their free copy of QuickLaunch 3.0.

Special thanks to Wayne at WJDDesigns for developing the icon and artwork. Hit him up for all your design needs. WJD Designs

Do I need a code to get the free upgrade? I purchase it on March 21st 2010 and the store is wanting to charge me $1.99.

[asylvia]

i just updated to this. pretty sweet

[CheetahAce]

if you downloaded the 9650 version and you have version 3.0.3 you need to download again from your account page to get 3.0.3.1.

Do not use 'check for updates' till u get 3.0.3.1 from mobi/crack.

[that_maynard]

great update! You guys will not be disappointed!

Same here. I just purchased a week ago and its asking me to pay the $1.99. Am I not eligible for the free upgrade?

[jlb21]

Downloaded the upgrade for 1.99 from mobi direct and now I have the wrong version. I'm on 9650 5.0 now and originally I was on 9630 4.7.

Help. What did I do wrong with the versions? I tried following the directions from the email received about the upgrade but I must have done something wrong.


UPDATE*** Just went to my account page and did a "swap to another version" and it flagged it for the 9650 version for my phone. DLing again now. I'll make sure once that is done that I have the correct version. Am I doing this part right?

Will the Scheduled Device Reset work if I have a device password set? I didn't see an option to input the device password like Quick Pull has.

Thanks for the update

No. never thought about this.

try again now.

[jlb21]

Thanks for helping me destress. Why I do about this stuff, I don't know.

Anyways, I am glad I upgraded for the $1.99. I am happy to have the new options and functions though my usage will not change too much. I like having the transparency settings, but I find I am using a (texture) image more often.

BTW, one desired feature change: My aging 44 year old eyes are quite happy to have the larger font for the menu. But it looks like it only applies to the main menu. Would it be possible to change it so the QL options sub-menu displays with the larger fonts too?

Great work and great support as always!!! Thanks!!!!!!!

[CheetahAce]

i think the options menu does use larger font too.

[jlb21]

It's not...at least not on mine. I get the larger font no the main menu, but as soon as I hit the BB key for the secondary menu, it's back to the smaller font.

Anything you want me to try?

[wishka233]

try again now.

It worked, thanks! Love the App.

[B-Mann]

I paid for the upgrade but can't download it. I get a "this link has expired" message. I've signed into my account and resent the download link several times and always get the same message. Also tried updating thru the crackberry app store app and get the same error.

Why won't it let me download the new version?

Was now able to get the new version. Very Nice!!

Thanks!

[jabbs1]

And once again the wait is on Why did this have to be one of the very few apps I got on App World?

[mojohnburr]

the new font is sooo nice. I agree with the other person in that menu is not a bigger font. This would be the one to add items etc. It still appears smallish to my 44 year old eyes. The other new features are great....good job on a great product.

[asylvia]

for some reason i got the wrong version, 3.0.3 instead of 3.0.3.1 for my 9650. any ideas?

[jlb21]

I think you may need to log into your account on mobihand.com and update from there. It will send you an email with the new OTA location......

[a.leah86]

I've noticed a glitch in the 9630 version. (I don't know if it's 5.0 or 4.7. I'm it doesn't say at all on my app page here at Crackberry) but when I have Media-Pictures set in my list and try to bring it up, all it does is take me to the app screen or the media folder. Never straight into pictures like it did in the previous version. I've done multiple resets, and multiple permissions changes, but it doesn't work.

Any suggestions?

[vinmontRD]

Looking forward to the update for my 8900! ETA for this?

[underway99]

I have the latest v3.0.3.1 for my 9650. The updated features are great.

I have an issue with transitions themes. When the QL menu swings out from the right edge, the screen behind goes blank/black. It is only intermittant, but does not happen at all when I change to a stock theme(in this case, the Precision Zen theme). I've loaded three different themes with the same result.

Is there a control setting that I need to change to make QL work correctly with transitions themes?
