Release 5.2.0.0 - 12/4/2025

New Feature

Credit Card Fees

Initial work has begun to implement Credit Card Fees in Keystone. The first phase focuses on the Keystone Online customer portal and allows credit card fees to be automatically added based on the chosen payment method. Future phases will allow credit card fees to be applied inside Keystone within Cash Posting and later at the Job/Order/Ticket level.

Save Form Layouts

There are two new options on the "File" menu of every Keystone option. The "Save Form Layout" option will save any changes made to the size/position of the option's form so that the next time the option is run it will reflect the adjusted size/position. This setting is saved for the currently logged in user and company only. The "Reset Form Layout" option will restore the size/position of the option's form to their default values.

Visual Themes

Keystone now supports user-selectable visual themes. By default, Keystone will use a light/dark theme based on the Windows light/dark color theme. Users may also select from a list of available themes which will apply to the currently logged in company. Several other changes have been made as a result of this feature:

The default Keystone font now matches the standard Windows font (Segoe UI.)

Most background colors (used to indicate error/status) have been replaced with icons. There is a new Search icon for fields that allow F4 search in place of the bright blue background. An error icon replaces the yellow background of an invalid email address. A lock icon indicates rows on a grid that cannot be edited (contacts/events.)

Most icons have been visually improved especially on high-resolution 4K monitors.

File Maintenance options now have an icon that indicates whether a new item is being added (replacing the "You are adding..." popup) or edited (replacing the pale, yellow background at the top of the form.)
