Fresh UI For Orbital Themes and Conversational Forms

Check out Image Hopper’s fresh new look, perfectly combined with the Gravity Forms Orbital Theme and Conversational Forms add-on for a stylish and consistent user experience.

Have you heard of Gravity Forms Orbital Theme? It’s an opinionated theme for forms that’s easily customized. Although it’s currently a bit of a hidden gem, it’s expected to become the new default theme in the future. The newly-released Conversational Forms add-on makes full use of Orbital too, and looks fantastic!

But what’s Orbital mean for Image Hopper? Until now, we’ve kept the UI consistent across all form themes. But we don’t want you missing out on the stunning design and styling options that Orbital-powered forms wield. So we’ve released Image Hopper v2.9, which includes a revamped UI when using Orbital Themes or Conversational Forms.

If you aren’t a fan of the new UI, you can leave Orbital disabled and Image Hopper will continue displaying like it normally does. You aren’t being forced into the new design: it is opt-in!

Along with the new UI, we’ve kept making refinements to the software, squashing bugs, and improving compatibility with other plugins. The image editor got a library update, too. The full list is below if you’re interested.

We hope you find these updates helpful and that they enhance your experience with Image Hopper. As always, we value your feedback and encourage you to reach out with any questions or suggestions.
