German term or phrase: die Krone aufsetzen
Appears in an article about a new Corel program from 1996

The entire sentence is :

" Neben zahlreichen Programmen zur Bildbearbeitung oder 3D-Grafikerstellung hat der canadische Software-Hersteller der Mac-Version ihres Grafikprogrammes die Krone aufgesetzt: der frischgebackene Mac-CorelDraw-Anwender findet im Paket sogar das erst kürzlich übernommene Textprogramm {ut1}Corel WordPerfect 3.5. "

Incidentally if anyone knows what frischgebackene Mac-Corel-Anwender" means I would apreciate it

Thank you in Advance :)
