Ohanaware App Kit 2021 Release 2.1

Minor update to our popular Mac App enhancing kit for Xojo

Monday, August 2, 2021 - Sam Rowlands

The Ohanaware App Kit 2021 Release 2.1 is a minor update to our Xojo Add-on that helps hundreds of Xojo developers to create compelling and modern Mac User Interfaces with the Xojo development environment.

This massive collection of declares, delegates, custom functions and User Interface elements is what we at Ohanaware use to drive the UI of some of our most successful products, App Wrapper, Aqua Swatch, Iconographer Mini, Permissions Reset and HDRtist.

Every customer of the Omegabundle 2021 automatically gets a license to this huge toolkit, which includes a demo application allowing customers to see the objects in action, tinker with the settings, but also figure out how to include these elements into their own Mac applications. Starting with Ohanaware App Kit 2021 we also include a "Mac App Template" which is preconfigured with the Ohanaware App Kit 2021 and awaiting your next exciting Mac Application.
