The new SAP GUI for Windows 7.40 has been shipped on 8th of October 2014 and introduces the following useful enhancements:
- Blue Crystal Design: SAP Blue Crystal is a new visual design theme which succeeds Corbu. It provides a consistent, responsive design that allows users to seamlessly experience the SAP GUI and NWBC elements. The background texture has a stroke pattern in white and light blue with a gradient layer.
- SAP GUI for Windows / Netweaver Business Client - Integration: SAP GUI for Windows can be embedded into NWBC, so the user has one shell that unifies both frontends. One desktop/taskbar icon consolidates NWBC and SAP GUI sessions, tasks, frequently used links etc. in a tabbed view NWBC frame.
- SAP UI Landscape: SAP UI Landscape unifies the persisted connection and connection configuration Data from SAP GUI for Windows, SAP GUI for Java and NWBC in a modern and easier way through one single XML file. There are no more split configuration files for the different SAP GUIs like sapmsg.ini, entries in the windows services file or saplogon.ini
