New Look and Navigation

ACT! by Sage 2010 has a new look and navigation. Some of the new "look and feel" includes:

New Welcome Page that gives you quick access to common resources, tips on using ACT!, and where to go when you need in-depth help.
New Navigation bar, global toolbar, and consolidated menus provide an "easy to get started" experience to quickly locate features.

Big, visible buttons (on the global toolbar) for tasks you complete most often, including a New button that lets you create anything new, from contacts to activities.
Personalised appearance by selecting a theme — Sage Green or Silver.
Ability to search from any view instead of relying on the Lookup dialog box.
Related tasks area on the Navbar which provides relevant options for working with contacts, groups, opportunities, and more. These tasks are specific to your view.
