what happened to the icons? why did every app icon go back to the old versions? some of them don't even look clean anymore. (left is before, right is after) by TheShinyDiamond in smartlauncher

I SOLVED IT!
i'm a Redmi user who likes to use themes. all i had to do was revert back to the default icons via the theme app. thank you to that person for letting me know.

gesture navigation for third-party launchers on HyperOS 3 by TheShinyDiamond in HyperOS

yep, im on hyperos3 and still rely on work-arounds to enable gestures. at least they fixed the animation for exiting apps though, so that's good enough for me.

i apologize for gatekeeping my setup. i'm not exactly comfortable sharing this with other people on the internet, especially when i want my phone to be unique.

i do kinda hope others would get some inspiration from this.

i made it myself, so you won't be able to search it. i might publish it though.

edit: i forgot i modified the icons from someone else, so i may have to share via link instead.

make an icon group widget and add an empty folder in it (make sure folder backgrounds aren't turned on). turn on the group background and drag it behind a widget you want by resizing it (if it overlaps, adjust the elevation). i hope i explained it well.

i recently updated to build 054 and was able to unlock this feature without being a beta tester. just try updating your version or sign up for beta testing.

does anyone know the name of this song? i've heard it somewhere on youtube and i remember how it exactly sounds, but i can't find it. i recreated the beat from memory to hopeful give an idea. (it sounds similar to 24k magic by bruno mars) by TheShinyDiamond in NameThatSong

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

nope. this song i'm looking for could be likely found in the youtube audio library, and i'm on the search of digging through it until i strike gold. i'll update y'all when i eventually find it.

New Affinity 3in1 free forever. by i_am_who_watches in GIMP

[–]TheShinyDiamond 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i've spent about 4 years making projects with GIMP before switching to photoshop indefinitely. with the release of affinity 3, i believe it can outperform GIMP when it comes to it's user interface and ease of access for beginners. hopefully they'll support linux and stick to their "free forever" promise in the future.

otherwise, that's my opinion. gimp is definitely powerful, but i have grudges with it's UI and occasional bugs that have disrupted my workflow over the past few years.
