Our first update after our launch in public beta is already here! We know many of our Wixians who will be excited by this news, as this update brings many cool features and makes your desktop even better looking 
, so check it out:
- Explorer Tool
You can’t miss it, with the “NEW” label in the Sidebar menu.
The Explorer Tool allows you to browse all the media files of one user and filter the results by media type: pictures, videos or music files. It’s an easy way to access all the media library of the user you are visiting and it’s much more convenient than going through subfolders to discover all the treasures of contents that this user is sharing!
- New Design of windows
The layout of the windows has been heavily reworked, so as to provide a direct access to the main functions. In the toolbar, on the left part, you have 3 buttons to choose the View mode: preview in player, list mode and icons mode, while the right part shows the “Download” and “Share” functions next to the “More” action button. Viewing, Sharing and Downloading are the 3 keys functions on Wixi, and with this new design, all 3 are accessible in one single click!
- Reorganization of user-related features
The “Invite friends” and “Find users” functions have been moved to the dashboard, where you can already list & manage your friends, see your last visitors and discover the most popular Wixies. It seemed more logical to use the dashboard for all user-related features, while the sidebar focuses on Applications and tools.
At the same time, we have solved the issue that many of you reported us: on 1024×768 screens, the sidebar was showing over the dashboard, blocking access to some functions.
- Improve desktop loading speed
This will be the first change you will notice when you login to your Wixi desktop, it loads up to twice faster! Access your files even more quickly: Ready? Go!
- Minor cosmectic changes
It’s always an ongoing process to improve the ergonomy of our product, and although these are only small edits, all together they make Wixi nice product to use! One of the most noticeable cosmectic changes, rounded corners on files & folders name labels is shown below:
- Many bug fixes
Well, we don’t give many details about the bugs, but we can guarantee you that we process all the feedbacks we receive and we fix as many as possible bugs at each
new update!
