With the latest DAKboard update, we’ve added the ability to set background colors, gradients and the option to show the title of the block in the custom screen editor on the Formatting tab when editing a block:

This opens up lots of new customization options and eliminates unnecessary blocks. No more separate blocks just for the background or title elements. We used these new formatting options to create the following screen:

You’ll notice the gradient background on each block and also the title of most blocks on the screen. This screen is also available to add to your account as a new template. Just click the “Add custom screen or template” button and select this template called “Night”.

Try out the new formatting options!

New Calendar Formatting Options

In addition to the formatting options mentioned above, the ability to specify the font size and color of the calendar text is now available.

You’ll see a new “Formatting” tab in the calendar options when editing the calendar block in your custom screen. Change the font size to your liking, and even change the text to a dark color. This is great when using a lighter background color or image:

Next, we’ve added the option to show every day (including days with no events) on the agenda style calendars. Similarly to the above, you’ll see a new option for this when the Agenda, Schedule, or Up Next calendar types are chosen:

Just a note: these updates are for Custom screens only. We will be adding these updates to the Predefined screen in a future release.

Thanks!

We hope you’ll enjoy these latest features. And as always, please feel free to contact us with any comments, problems or questions!
