Conduit Introduces New & Improved Features |
|
| Conduit is dedicated to helping you improve the quality of your toolbar by providing services that users need every day. To that end, we recently introduced three new and improved features. Check them out: |
|
| Enhanced E-mail Notifier | |
- Support for new e-mail providers: AOL, Road Runner, Comcast, and Google Apps accounts.
- Easier flow for adding new e-mail accounts
- New interface that conforms to the look and feel of the user's operating system
|
| New Find Bar
|
|
 |
|
|
Find Bar improves on the browser's "Find on this page" functionality:
When users type Ctrl-F, the Find Bar will appear at the bottom of the page, replacing the intrusive dialog box. As users start typing a search string, the matching text is highlighted on the page as they type, saving time.
|
|
| New Personal Components Dialog at Installation |
|
More user choice: Users will now be able to choose which of the Personal Components they want to add (Radio Player, Weather, and E-mail Notifier) when they install your toolbar.
Note: YOU decide which options appear in the dialog box.
