The newly released update for Block DX under the version name 1.2.0 comes with a wide plethora of improvements and new features. Please be advised that in order to have access to the new update, you will need a Blocknet wallet updated to version 3.13.0 or newer.
What the New Update Brings to the Table
Tooltips
Yes, you read it right. Block DX now has tooltips which will help inform users regarding different details of using a decentralized exchange. They can also be used for reminders or troubleshooting. These tooltips are applied to the Balance, Order Book and Order Form panels with more to come in the future along with an improved onboarding system.
Layout Changes
The interface layout for the Getting Started, General Settings and Terms of Service screens has been updated to be more responsive and have better scaling. This way the UI elements like buttons will always be visible.
Take Orders with Just a Right-Click
The new update also brings the ability to take orders with just a right click. This makes the action much faster and the order is taken automatically rather than requiring manual populating of the form and selection of the “place order” button.
Wallet Refresh Button
With the new update, now you can manually refresh your wallets and balances with just the click of a button. This button will eliminate the rare occurrence of delays when adding a new wallet or waiting for a re-check. This way you can go back to your trading as soon as possible.
