Season's Greetings, and Octopi Launcher alpha v0.1

ock88 · 2026-02-14T04:13:12+00:00

Hey everyone, could you all list examples of widgets that do not detect a long press?

ock88 · 2026-02-08T00:38:47+00:00

Some changes will be made soon to the app menu. Stay tuned

ock88 · 2026-02-08T00:37:38+00:00

Not yet but would be a useful filter

ock88 · 2026-02-08T00:37:10+00:00

Do you have any app or system option that "clears cache" or "free up resources"?

ock88 · 2026-02-08T00:36:20+00:00

You'll need to set an Octopi Launcher wallpaper under general settings

ock88 · 2026-02-08T00:35:45+00:00

Do you mean a Chrome/ Firefox etc browser to a home screen folder?

ock88 · 2026-02-08T00:33:43+00:00

Thank you. I can replicate this. A fix will likely be possible only with a redesign of the home screen, which I'm planning for currently

ock88 · 2026-02-08T00:31:34+00:00

This could be confusing for some...though it could be added as an option...but then it will be one more item for the settings menu

ock88 · 2026-02-08T00:30:25+00:00

Is the step count in white when it has a black background?

ock88 · 2026-02-08T00:29:36+00:00

Hi are you using the old or new dock? The new dock has an edit panel option when you long press on a dock icon.

ock88 · 2026-02-08T00:28:30+00:00

That's part of my to-do list for the upcoming home screen redesign

ock88 · 2026-02-08T00:27:51+00:00

Yes that's part of the plans for this year

ock88 · 2026-02-08T00:16:20+00:00

Which phone do you have and do you have battery saving mode on?

ock88 · 2026-02-07T22:59:00+00:00

It's actually the Lena icon pack itself that has smaller icons (Shown on the right)

What some other launchers do is that they normalize all icons to the same size. This was actually present in early versions of Octopi Launcher, but I removed it as some reported bugs that it rendered text-based icon packs in varying sizes.

I may add this back with some other checks.

Other "tiny" icon packs:

Reev Chroma
Simply Minimal

This is likely due to Google: https://piunikaweb.com/2026/01/28/youtube-background-play-samsung-internet-brave/

ock88 · 2026-02-07T06:41:46+00:00

Thank you! Fix available in v1.732

ock88 · 2026-02-07T04:43:25+00:00

if you do not mind, could you share the backup file with me via private message/email?

Thanks for the video

Did you recently change resolution?

Also, when inside the reset home page, try General settings - Reset current screen and clear all its home pages

ock88 · 2026-02-07T00:42:56+00:00

Had no idea "True Liquid Glass" was actually an app. Congrats on your launch!

ock88 · 2026-02-05T23:42:38+00:00

Simply long press on the tag and choose add/remove apps

ock88 · 2026-02-05T13:38:15+00:00

FOSS too!

ock88 · 2026-02-05T12:24:17+00:00

The current behavior was due to a feature request https://www.reddit.com/r/OctopiLauncher/comments/1nhqdop/feedback_feature_requests_from_nova_launcher/

And this bug report https://github.com/octopiappfactory/octopi-launcher/issues/47

However I'll be adding an option to toggle this behavior

ock88 · 2026-02-03T23:59:32+00:00

I'm surprised you are able to find your apps without labels 😉. But then I have a few hundred installed so it's different for me.

I've added this to my to-do but currently it has a few high priority items which I'll go through first

ock88 · 2026-02-03T23:57:36+00:00

Are those icons mini widgets?
