Requests from the owner on 12 November 2026, after using 0.3.1 on the Pixel 9a, with a
photo of Niagara Launcher's alphabet as the reference.
Drawer list
- Rows are 50dp with 34dp icons and 15sp names (were 64dp, 46dp, 17sp); letter headers are
34dp. A row grows with a large system font so a notification preview still fits.
Alphabet
- Letters sit 20dp apart at most (was 30dp). The strip keeps a stretch of edge as tall as
26 letters, low on the edge with its end 40dp above the navigation bar, and centres the
letters that exist in it. It used to spread over the whole edge, which put "A" out of a
thumb's reach.
- The wave follows Niagara's: letters keep their size, the wave is wide (104dp) so about
five letters on each side of the finger curve around the thumb, and the selected letter
is shown large in a light bubble just beyond the wave's peak. This replaces the enlarged
letter on a dark spot from 0.3.1, which collided with its neighbours at this spacing.
- The list dims a little during any scrub, more where the wave lies over it.
Backdrop
- The drawer's scrim is black at 78% in every theme (AllAppsState). Lawnchair's grey at 40%
left a light grey behind white names over a light wallpaper. LawnchairScrimView judges the
status bar icons by the scrim's own colour again, since that colour is now always dark.
Scrub from the home screen (PRD AD-10)
- On by default, the owner's decision; this closes the PRD's open question.
- It opens the drawer in 120 ms instead of the state manager's 600 ms, like swipe up and hold.
- A touch that lifts within 200 ms was a flick and opens the plain list.
Fix: undoing a scrub that was not meant
- 0.3.1 put the list back to "where it was", read from the list's rows. A closed drawer has
been told to return to the top but lays its rows out only when it opens, so the rows
still reported the place the drawer was last left at, and a quick swipe reopened it
there. The list now goes where a plainly opened drawer stands.
About
- A QR code for the release page, generated on the phone with ZXing core (new dependency),
black on white in every theme, with the address under it.
Checked on the Android 17 emulator with timed touches, a thumb-sized shape over the
screenshots, a 1.6 font scale, and by decoding the QR code from a screenshot.
