GREENSBORO, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Iconfactory, an innovative design firm specializing in icon and user interface design, and ARTIS Software today announced the immediate availability of xScope 3.0 in the Mac App Store.
xScope 3.0 is a powerful set of tools used by designers and developers to measure, inspect and test on-screen elements. Version 3 has been redesigned for clarity and optimized to take advantage of the latest Macintosh hardware. Over 70 new features and improvements encompass this release, including enhanced usability and a new look, SmartTools, a preference to display menubar items individually, edge snapping, an array of new screen sizes, and an accessibility simulator to aid in design for the visually impaired.
Iconfactory founder, Gedeon Maheux said, “xScope is like a Swiss Army Knife for designers and developers and one of the best new features in this release is the Mirror tool. It constantly displays the contents of a specific Mac window onto the iPhone, iPod touch or iPad screen as you work on a Photoshop document or the iOS Simulator. Mirrored windows can be locked so that they always display on iOS even when re-positioned or placed under other windows and there’s no interface to get in your way or repetitive save actions to perform.”
The Mirror tool requires a companion app that is a free universal download from the App Store. xScope 3 is available from Apple’s Mac App Store via one-click ordering and is launching at a special 30% off price of just $19.99 for a limited time. Free upgrades are available to users who purchased a license after July 14th, 2011. A paid upgrade for purchases before that date is available for $19.99. Multi-user licenses for businesses can also be upgraded or purchased directly from the Iconfactory website.
The Iconfactory is an innovative design firm based in North Carolina and winner of Apple’s design award for Best Social Networking Application for Twitterrific.
