  1. Please add a transparency option to the spinner widget. Our district math curriculum requires a transparent spinner to be placed over existing content. This was an option with the old Flash-based spinner, but they need to have it in the new widget spinner too. Along those same lines, they also have some cases where they need to add images to the spinner, rather than just text. Thanks!

  2. I am wondering if there is a way to change the settings on the Screen Capture Toolbar. Let me explain, when I go to capture a selection on the screen I can't find where to click to drag across my selection. The screen goes darker (on both Mac and Win versions), and I was wondering if there is a way to change that because it is harder to distinguish where to start. Maybe have the crosshairs (where the mouse is at) be on top of that darkened screen.

  3. I like your new LAB-icon, although I didn't see much new. I would like you dore LAB where you use Mobiles, other than shout it out.

  5. Looking in the gallery, there are 1218 items yet the older versions have over 5200 images. What happened to the rest of them?

  6. I know there are new concept mapping features in NB 15 (similar to SMART Ideas), but I cannot find them. Where are they? It would be great if this was included in the tutorial.

  7. When you first open the NB 15 Beta software, there is a tutorial which is helpful. However, the tutorial is for 14.3 and back, and there is no tutorial for NB 15. This should definitely be included in the Beta version.

  8. In SMART Notebook 25, you cannot drag a rectangle to select multiple objects on top of an imported PDF.

    Consider this...

    1. Import a PDF of a guided notes page used by students.

    2. Annotate that PDF with SMART Notebook in front of the class.

    3. Make a mistake or want to move something... With the current SMART Notebook software, you cannot drag a rectangle to select multiple objects. You would need to return to your desk and individually select the objects while holding your shift key!

    This is not ideal. SMART Tech Support have confirmed that this is not possible in Version…

  9. In Notebook 22.0, I used to be able to drag and drop math expressions from Math Type. I'm not sure why this doesn't work anymore with version 24. I would pay money for this functionality to return if possible, as the built in equation editor is just not as robust as the one in mathtype software.

  10. When you copy and paste an image, you use to be able to grab the item by selecting it from the bottom right corner and resize it anyway you like. With this version, you can only make it bigger or smaller. In 22, you could stretch or shorten the image in any direction. You can do this now with shapes that you create , but you cannot do it with images that you paste from somewhere else. This feature was crucial when trying to fit certain images in specific spaces. Please bring this back, thank you.

  11. Please can you create a text box function? It's 2024 (almost 2025) and Notebook still doesn't have a working textbox function.

    Please make a text box function, where you can align the text in different places inside the box and be able to format colours of both the text and the box.

    Without this feature, it is painfully slow and arduous to make a text box, as you have to make a box, then some text and finally group them together.

  12. When I went to go to exchange.smarttech.com to download a notebook file on the website it takes me straight to Lumio by SMART for some reason. When I went to download a smart notebook file on my computer that option is not there, there is only a upload to lumio icon. Please bring back the feature that allows you to download files as SMART Notebook Files on your computer, and SMART Exchange.

  13. Get a recent files list when right-clicking on the SMART Notebook icon in the taskbar while using SMART Notebook 24.
    Used to be there now disappeared. Really useful when planning the day ahead and then closing the files before going home.

  14. Please add Transparent Background Mode back into SB24. We have developed our teaching pedagogy and learned to stack windows in a certain order with SMART Notebook software on top to utilize this feature. This feature was helpful and built into our teaching practices.

  17. When I right click Smartboard from the Windows task bar, it no longer shows recent files or allows me to pin frequently used files. It worked fine until the update so not sure if it's a SMART Notebook issue or a Windows needing to catch up issue. Other programs still allow this such as Word or Excel.

  18. When drawing a line please reinstate the snap horizontal and snap vertical options.

    When scaling shapes holding "shift" or "control" ought to maintain proportions.

    These are basic Windows controls and were correctly implemented in previous versions. Where and why have they gone? It is very hard to teach maths when you can't realiably construct diagrams.

  20. In this latest version, I am using an EPSON projector and pen. In the last two weeks I am constantly having pens just freeze on one tool. For example, I am picking a black pen, getting a red pen. I then select the eraser, but it is still a red pen. Cannot select any other tool except red pen.
    Closing the program and restarting sometimes temporarily solves this problem, but it returns constantly. I love this product when it works. I am constantly let down. ALSO trying to attach the ZIP file that your program created as a diagnostic, this…
