Digitalbrain are pleased to announce that the new homepage and modernised icons have been released.

Contemporary Homepage
This new page frame has been created as a companion to the new calendar and e-mail functionality and it brings the same modern look and feel of these applications to individual users’ homepages. This page contains a number of features above and beyond the current personal homepage. These are: the ability to pull-through a news feed from your school or an RSS feed from your favourite site, a customisable short cuts section and scroll bars for the calendar and discussion pull-through.

All the content you currently have in your homepage will be retained when you move over to the new homepage, so don’t worry about having to start your page from scratch.  Please see here <http://updates.digitalbrain.com/help/helpfiles/Activating%20the%20new%20homepage.pdf>  to view a guide to activating your new homepage. You may find the new features of this homepage look even better in a full width portal, you can try this out by selecting “variable width” from the “view” menu.

Modernised Icon Set
In line with the enhancements to the homepage and calendar we have released a new icon set for all pages, listings and toolbars throughout the portal. These new icons are an evolution of the ones you will be familiar with but if you want to see a like-for-like replacement list for all icons this can be found on our updates site. <http://updates.digitalbrain.com/updates/icons/index.htm>

One important change to note is the replacement of the yellow ’smiley face’, as this has been changed for accounts, homepages and group memberships. You will now find accounts and the ‘my homepage’ link represented by a yellow ‘person’. Group memberships will be represented by the same icon but in green.
We hope that you like these new additions to the site and welcome any feedback you have on them.

If you have any questions or queries regarding this release, or any other matter relating to Learning Manager, please do not hesitate to contact the Digitalbrain Customer Support Team. You can also check updates.digitalbrain.com <http://updates.digitalbrain.com/>  where regular updates are posted.
