Fade a layer in or out, with optional 'drop in' animation.  The layer can fade in automatically when the page first loads, or manually in response to an event, such as a button click.

 

You can also set the duration of the fade, the opacity to fade to, and an optional delay before the fade triggers.

Manage Button Lab Buttons in the Files Palette

 
Button Styles you create in Button Lab are now listed in the Core/Buttons folder in the files palette.
 
This makes it much easier to manage your Button Styles, rename them, or delete unused styles.  You can also copy Button Styles between projects.
 
 

New Redesigned Tabs

 
Each tab in the Page Editor now has its own close icon, tinted red when you hover over it.  This replaces the old close button, and means you can close any tab instantly without having to switch to it first.
 
You can also now rearrange the order of open tabs - simply click and drag any tab to move it.
 
The currently active tab is indicated with a blue tinted icon.

Hide the Status Bar

 
Nice and quick.  Give yourself a slightly larger work area - once you've become an expert and no longer need the status bar hints you can hide the status bar completely, expanding the page editor.

Friendly Icons for Empty Objects

 
Empty Picture, I-Frame and Visual HTML objects, where you've yet to assign an image, page or code, now each display a friendly icon so you can spot them at a glance in the page editor.

What's New?

Two sided images.  Flips over smoothly on hover, and back again.
Smooth animated page curl effect.  Hover over the corner to lift it slightly.

Antenna's new built in Advanced Preview server simulates visitor connection speed, so you can see how fast your web pages will load over a variety of network speeds.

 

It also previews scripts that would typically only run online - such as some rollover effects and full screen galleries.

Enhanced Mobile Auto-Fit

 
Dual Layout Auto-Fit now adjusts the height of Text Box objects when resizing them to match the space needed for the text content - rather than simply scaling them to the required width:
