Thanks for all of your feedback on Beta 2! We’re glad you like the new chat experience and improved support for Chrome themes, as well as the new Twitter and View Later Apps and how they sync with RockMelt for iPhone.
Today, in addition to several performance improvements, we’re happy to announce that RockMelt now has Quiet Mode, supports localized results from the Search Box, and is now on Chromium 11.
These are features that many of you have been asking for, and are also ones that we’re excited to use ourselves.
Quiet Mode
Need to focus? Have exams coming up? Just turn on Quiet Mode to remove any potential distractions.
Since everyone will have different preferences for what Quiet Mode does, we’ve made it fully customizable. As you can see in the image above, you can choose to have Quiet Mode make you go offline in chat, hide Edges, hide notifications of new updates, and more.
Turning on and configuring Quiet Mode is easy. If you’re using Mac, you can enable and set preferences for Quiet Mode under View in the menu bar. If you’re using Windows, you can turn on Quiet Mode from the RockMelt menu. We plan on making it even easier to enter and leave Quiet Mode in the near future.
Localized Search
If you’ve ever tried using RockMelt while studying abroad or traveling overseas, you know that RockMelt’s built-in sync lets you conveniently access your feeds, apps, bookmarks, and preferences. All you have to do is download RockMelt, login, and we’ll take care of the rest.
Now, no matter where you are, you can get even more relevant results when using the Search Box. All you have to do is choose which country you want to see results from.
To change your settings, just look for Search inside the Basics tab under the Options (Windows) or Preferences (Mac) menu.
Chromium 11
RockMelt now has all the enhancements that come with the latest version of Chromium, making it better than ever.
We’ll start rolling out the updates today and everybody should have it in about a week. Stay tuned for more updates soon!
p.s. Good luck to everybody studying for final exams. We hope Quiet Mode helps!
