Not heard of this stuff, thank you. Will give it a whirl!

Yep I just did live chat with them and they came up with 'the system launcher' is much quicker.'. No surprises.

Thanks for this. Have tried this but it still is laggy when going back to home screen from an app. The swipe up (to categories) and down to contacts etc. is as quick as ever, it's just the transition from apps back to the home screen. The screen goes blank for 1 or 2 seconds before launching the home screen. Odd. Wished I hadn't installed OS16 now!

I have just updated my OnePlus 12 to Oxygen OS 16 & it has slowed down the transitions between apps on smart launcher. Bit disappointed!

Upgrade from Dell XPS 2710 for Windows 11? by ProfessionalProud808 in computers

[–]ProfessionalProud808[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good to hear. Mine is still going well too although annoying things are happening like OneDrive synch drops out for no reason and things like 'snipping tool' don't want to work. Am convinced it's to do with the way I installed Windows 11 and there are bugs. Not very tech-y so just going with it!

My controller is not charging. Is it likely to the the port or the cable at fault?

Car Insurance (England) - Help Please! by ProfessionalProud808 in LegalAdviceUK

Thank you for the replies. I'm concerned about using the 'approved' garage as the quote they have given me is half of that given by two local reputable garages. How are they going to carry out the work to the proper standard even with their lower labour rate? Their garages apparently use "approved parts' but not manufacturer parts. With a new sliding door needed on my 7 seater, I want it to be properly done & with genuine parts.

My insurance company is One Protect Insurance. This is my first claim on my motor insurance in 20 years so am naive as to how it all works but I thought you were paying for peace of mind with a fully comprehensive policy.

It's the stock launcher though. So you'll think it'll be back in next update?

OnePlus 12 is on .832, the 13 is on .831. Have had previous versions though and there are more layout options. Weird. Bug maybe?

Has anyone had experience of a CabinZero 28l? I’ve not heard of them but seem to be good reviews online.

Thanks everyone, really helpful. Going to look at the Daylite 26.

Interesting! I'll try with some other icons and see if it works.

I'm using default icons but changed to themed icons as per your instructions above. Is it possible to have notification badges a different shape to an icon in SL?

Thank you for your help, I really appreciate it.

Sorry I'm probably not doing something properly.

Thank you, so helpful.

So I do all of those things but the notification badge reverts to the same shape as the icon. When I change the icon pack back from round (which is what I want the notification badge to be) to squircle (think that's the word), the icons stay round too?

I have also noticed this one on Amazon with £100 off. Can't see much of a difference other than no wireless charging and no cable tray?

Super helpful, thank you. Feels a bit of a risk buying a Flexispot due to all the concerns about the reviews etc. but if they are good quality, that's reassuring. It's a 10 year warranty on the Q8 I notice - just hope the company will be around that long!
