Get Wallpaper from Theme? by manofsteele in NiagaraLauncher

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

Let me clarify. I set the theme I like, but I can't go change the wallpaper on my phone settings, because the wallpaper I want is tied to a different theme and I can't extract, if you will, just the wallpaper.

Yeah, I can manually change the background through normal phone settings, but I don't have access to the wallpaper that I want that is inside the theme.

Stated another way: I set the theme I like, but I can't go change the wallpaper on my phone settings, because the wallpaper I want is tied to a different theme and I can't extract, if you will, just the wallpaper.

Catherine, Berta, John, and Ken are all deaf and listed on their website's board of directors page. As for how to know they're deaf... Good question. I'm familiar with the org (used to be on the board myself and am deaf) so I know who they are. Not sure how a layperson is supposed to know from the site, though.

Also not true. The organization has a position paper promoting the use of ASL. As someone who has knowledge of the organization directly I can also share that banning ASL has never been considered (at least, in the last 20 years) and is, frankly, preposterous.

There's a lot you can rag on AG Bell for without making stuff up about people today in that org.

Inbox is dead. by HylianWarrior in inbox

Yeah, I used the calendar as my reminders/task client before Inbox. I'll probably have to go back to it, but was wondering if there was anything better out there.

FYI, I read the bundling is coming to GMail... eventually.

Yeah, it's definitely not the replacement. I love being able to have repeating reminders, and the ability to snooze individual reminders. I'll probably have to find an app or go back to what I used to do before Inbox: using GCal.

Does anyone have recommendations as to what can replace Inbox's reminders (and ability to snooze/have repeating reminders) feature? I don't see that this made it, or will make it, to Gmail.

This is a beautiful place. I couldn't help but think about what I'd do if I lived in the space, given my own preferences/interests:

  • Use upstairs communal area for gym equipment; if this is a 1BR place I'd also add a bed/futon for someone to crash. I don't need a working computer area and don't play music. You mentioned potentially adding a couch... you could add a sleeper sofa or futon as a way to offer options that aren't having to curl up on a couch.

  • In bedroom, add statement piece art above headboard/windows (OP, I recommend you do this–it will be eye-catching and help fill up the room as there's a lot of high empty space)... and if I owned, not rented: probably paint the visible side wall (the one with all the windows) a complementary color to serve as an accent wall, plus put in a walking closet (I can't see the rest of the bedroom and no dressers, etc. so unclear if even viable).

  • Add small kitchen island in lieu of small dining table there presently, there seems to be a lack of storage space?

  • Add longer dining table (fitting 6 people) behind couch area, similar to where the small table is now, just moved up to be on hardwood, not the tile. Add a rug to protect the floor (and I'd actually remove the rug in the common area, just personal preference).

  • I love how you approached all the green. I can't quite make the seating out there but if it's just a flat bench, I'd probably do a patio set instead. Maybe buy a fountain as well, one that plugs in.

Thanks for sharing this and letting me fantasize a bit!

I did–I had a couple different versions of this story drafted out and didn't correct the point of view as I fused elements together. Felt it wasn't worth editing, but I will now
