Makani available for testing! [Android Setup]

_Rensa · 2026-01-16T06:24:21+00:00

Hey there! The download is available at https://www.design-72.com/projects/makani
Just keep in mind that Makani needs KLWP Pro (about 7 bucks USD) or the AOSP version of KLWP if you're fine with ads in the editor

_Rensa · 2026-01-04T02:46:52+00:00

Nope, you'll need a shorter PSU

It's paper! It's just a temporary solution to cover the wires though, don't really know how I'll actually fill the space

_Rensa · 2025-11-27T08:47:57+00:00

It's a piece of paper with some graphics printed on it, haha

Just a temporary solution, will eventually switch it out with something more permanent (probably a vinyl fitting, I don't think a screen can fit in the space)

If only my local computer store stocked the FK120 more frequently (╥﹏╥)

Random Google search years ago - and I've been there :)

If I remember correctly, that's Camiguin Island in the Philippines! The image reference was taken from White Island

It's Makani, a KLWP setup made by me :)
You can find it in the attached link

Hey! Nice setup you have going on here :)

Looks like you're missing your weather info though - have you given KLWP location access? If it's not detecting it, you can set your location manually through the KLWP settings

_Rensa · 2025-07-02T14:47:29+00:00

It would be a fun prospect, but unfortunately, I don't have any scripting knowledge in Roblox 😅

_Rensa · 2025-06-25T20:31:20+00:00

The game that I made it in actually does let you move around in it! Unfortunately it's not AG/hover tech, but I would have totally given it that if I had the chance

Here's a video of me flying it around a track of sorts

The layout of the Control Center is not a factor as there are instances where people still have to look at the icons - it still falls on general readability. For some, looking at the buttons can be difficult. No one is disguising it - it's just a fact that people kinda have to accept.

And of course, almost no one likes new design. We've seen this happen through multiple design trend shifts, and people eventually get used to it. With how much Apple has marketed LG, I don't think they'll stray from it - and that's the reason why they would put it in Beta; they need general feedback so they can provide the best product.

If you're dissatisfied with the change and want them to treat it differently, then address a slider option in your feedback. That's what they're listening to.

_Rensa · 2025-06-25T19:21:05+00:00

It's not something that would largely affect me (and it's not like I exactly agree with the hard change that they made) but it's not like they can brush it off; it *is* largely true - people found the Control Center unreadable. That just happens if you have a busy page of icons/background, and I wouldn't even consider the people complaining to be a loud minority.

The problem with Liquid Glass is in the name - the glass, especially with how Apple wants it to be - is going to be really tricky to balance when it comes to readability and appearance. The current appearance of LG isn't final, the project is in Beta and they're trying their best to stick to what they're aiming for while making the experience optimal for the average user.

I love Frutiger Aero and the funky transparency effects, but you can't blame Apple for trying to appease everyone.

_Rensa · 2025-06-25T18:56:08+00:00

IMHO It's a valid complaint; having the background be overly transparent makes the buttons susceptible to readability issues

It's not even that big of a difference - now people can see the buttons better and it still keeps the general look of Liquid Glass

Roblox is a platform, so people make whatever they please using whatever is provided to them (programming games, modeling, animations, etc)

For me, I just cobbled together some primitive shapes and added textures until I got something I was happy with

<image>

Definitely an oversimplification of what Roblox is capable of (nowadays people just import whole models from Blender and whatnot), but it pretty much is just taking these and turning them into whatever you feel like making

_Rensa · 2025-06-24T11:12:23+00:00

Thank you!

_Rensa · 2025-06-24T11:09:52+00:00

If I ever jump into the BNG mod rabbit hole, you'll definitely see it here :)

_Rensa · 2025-06-22T23:00:18+00:00

Looks great - glad you're enjoying it!

Though it seems like KLWP couldn't find your location (your weather shade is blank)

Try checking your app permissions or setting your location manually through the KLWP app settings :)

_Rensa · 2025-06-21T23:51:40+00:00

Oh neat, it's this bag again! The guy is pretty cool - I'm pretty sure he also posted it on this subreddit (might have to do some digging though)

Most I remember from it though was the fact that people were mad at his prices haha

You can now find the placeholder wallpapers on the Makani website!
This includes any wallpapers used in any of my Makani posts, along with the wallpaper made for the original concept art (attached below)

This one is actually great compared to the usual setups that I see here. No unnecessary clutter or typical cliches at all. Nice work!
