SAP GUI for Windows 7.70: New Features & Lifecycle Information | SAP 7.50 end of full support 09.04.2019

How to download and Install SAP GUI for Windows 7.70?

Our focus areas were:

• New Fiori 3 theme family (“Quartz”) – for a harmonized look with other SAP UI frameworks, but you will see that Quartz is not just some new colors.
• Edge (based on Chromium) as alternative browser control for use in the SAP GUI HTML Control – for becoming independent of the Internet Explorer Control
• 64bit versions of NWRFC controls – for being able to use those controls also from 64bit processes like Microsoft Excel 64bit
• Multi-Monitor-Scaling support – for correct display of SAP GUI in environments with multiple monitors using different scaling settings

All of these areas have been eagerly expected by several customers and required huge effort on SAP GUI side. However, in addition to these topics we could also work on a couple of other smaller topics that are explained below.
