New Key Ring Features

Hi everyone, we released an update today with a couple of new features.  You can now configure the background color  to either be “light / white” or “dark / black”.  Personally, I prefer the white background.  It looks better with the blue in my opinion.  The great thing is you can change the color at any time from the Key Ring home screen by selecting “Menu” > “Settings” > “Application Theme”.  In addition we have also fixed the brightness setting bug and completely removed the annoying brightness warning pop up.  You can now save a different brightness setting for each individual card by selecting a card to view > “Menu” > “Adjust Brightness” > make adjustment then “Save”. If you like this update you’re really going some of the other stuff our team is working on…. stay tuned :)
