Inverted Color Scheme in memoQ Desktop Client (11.2)
In response to user requests for improved visual comfort, the Inverted Color Scheme was thoughtfully designed to assist users with visual impairments and to support translators working long hours, reducing eye fatigue.
The Inverted Color Scheme in memoQ builds upon the Inverted Colors option of Windows Magnifier, elevating the visual experience while prioritizing accessibility.
Magnifier’s high contrast has been toned down to ease eye strain.
memoQ users can now choose between two color schemes—Default and Inverted—under Options/Appearance, allowing color customization in each scheme. By default, the original colors for hit types in Translation Results (such as TM, TB and LiveDocs) are retained in the Inverted Color Scheme, but users can also modify these as needed.
The Inverted Color Scheme applies only to the memoQ main window. For the best experience, use memoQ in full-screen mode and ensure that all memoQ windows are on the same screen to maintain consistent color inversion.

memoQ AGT in Online Projects in WebPM (11.1)
memoQ AGT now supports online projects. Previously, memoQ AGT could only be used in local projects or in checked-out online projects.
