    I think it's getting better.

    Minor remark: I would rename "Software" into "Products" (more consistent with header of leftmost column below).

    What's your goal with the GUI update? (The GUI still feels like Windows 7 or older to me, not Windows 10; but maybe that's OK?)

    Well, previous was looking like Windows 95, so I guess i'm travelling through time in the right direction.
    Should you have suggestion to make it more modern, let me know !

    OK for "products", will be done in next release.
    (i've restored a white background as well, but in a better way compared to previous design)

    What does "Report Error" do. 4.5.1.326 "Report Error" calls Chrome. Why?

    I normally expand SUMo to full screen, but it is probably better like this when running small screen.
    Lol. For Modern look, you may need a pro GUI designer ...

    Hmm, don't have default email client. And since "Bugs" calls IE, bug report page. I was curious why "Report Error" calls Chrome. :-|

    Thanks very much, Kyle.
    I know that implementing a new icon set had been your wish for a long time, so congratulations on releasing 5.0 with the new icon set.

    I hadn't been beta testing the new version, so I didn't know what to expect, but all is fine to me.
    The new icon set is fine. Although personally I liked the previous smaller icons at the bottom better than the large buttons on top. I think the previous UI looked a bit cleaner and easier on the eye.

    But everything works perfectly, just like before, and that's what matters to me.
    I guess I'll be used to the larger buttons on top in no time.
    I keep a screenshot of the old UI for sentimental reasons. :)

    First some SUMo users need to find out there's a new software release, like Notepad++ version 7, then install that new version, and then use SUMo, before that new version is added to the SUMo database. That is when SUMo will now mention the new version.
    This is how SUMO works.

    By the way, I see that SUMo is now aware of Notepad++ version 7.

    Like @paulderdash said, interesting I didn't know that. However this mechanism seems flaky to me cause if not a single user install new version lets say, one week, then no one of the rest will be alerted by SUMo for a whole week.
    This mechanism tells me there always has to be the "first one". The first SUMo user to install new version in order to put things in motion. Weird.
