PhoneTray Pro 1.3

Yesterday we updated PhoneTray Pro to version 1.3.  To update your version of PhoneTray Pro click Help -> Check for Updates button on the Ribbon Menu. PhoneTray will say that the update is ready to be installed. Click on that text and select Install Now to update your version of PhoneTray Pro.

Here is what’s new in PhoneTray Pro 1.3:

  • Added support for MP3 ringtones.
  • Black-listed phone numbers on the Calls screen are shown in gray color. Hovering over the number will show the notes you entered for that blacklisted number:
  • Added ‘Last 30 Days’ and ‘Last 7 Days’ to the Calls date filter on the left panel in the Calls screen.
  • PhoneTray will now remember selected Calls date filter on restart.
  • PhoneTray uses different colors for odd and even rows in the Calls List, Contacts List, Black List and White List. Changing the skin will change background colors for odd and even rows:
  • Added an option to show full screen alerts on the secondary monitor.
  • PhoneTray will show what call blocking setting caused a call to be blocked when you hover your mouse over the block icon in the first column on the Calls screen. For example, if the call was blocked because “Block calls that show ‘Out of Area’ instead of caller’s number” option is selected on the Call Blocking screen, hovering over the block icon will show “Blocked: privacy settings, ‘Out of Area’ instead of caller’s number”:
  • Fixed: PhoneTray was announcing the contact’s number when Announce As field was empty.
  • Fixed: Audio device for ringtones was not set properly.

PhoneTray Pro 1.2

We just updated PhoneTray Pro to version 1.2. PhoneTray Pro now supports skins and modem sharing. To update your version of PhoneTray Pro click Help -> Check for Updates button on the Ribbon Menu. PhoneTray will say that the update is ready to be installed. Click on that text and select Install Now to update your version of PhoneTray Pro.

Here is what’s new in PhoneTray Pro 1.2:

  • Added several skins to change PhoneTray appearance. To select a skin click the Skins button next to the PhoneTray logo in the upper-left corner of PhoneTray window.
  • Added TAPI mode to share the modem with other programs. To enable modem sharing, click the Settings – Lines button on the left panel, select Advanced tab for Line 1 or Line 2 and check “Enable TAPI mode” checkbox. Please note that Caller ID detection could be less reliable in TAPI mode because PhoneTray has to use Unimodem driver for Caller ID in TAPI mode.
  • PhoneTray icon in the system tray will turn red if there are any errors. You can hover over the icon to see the error message.
  • PhoneTray now uses window background color selected in Windows as a background for the Calls, Contacts, Black List and White List screens.
  • Fixed: Sometimes PhoneTray was zapping a call only after 3-4 rings.
  • Fixed: PhoneTray was showing truncated Caller ID information with some modems.
  • Fixed: PhoneTray was reporting new calls with a delay on some systems.

We just updated PhoneTray Pro to version 1.1.0. Open PhoneTray Pro and click Help -> Check for Updates. PhoneTray will say that the update is ready to be installed. Click on that text and select Install Now to update your version of PhoneTray Pro.

This version added wildcard support when blocking by caller’s name. You can use * to indicate a wildcard. For example:
ABC* will block all names that start with Abc, such as ‘Abc Cleaning’ or ‘Abc Marketing’
*FORD will block all names that end with Ford, such as ‘Main City Ford’ or ‘Country Ford’.

We also fixed PhoneTray crash when attempting to play broken .wav files.

Enjoy!
