Jerboa is a native-android client for Lemmy, built using the native android framework, Jetpack Compose.

Warning: You can submit issues, but between Lemmy and lemmy-ui, I probably won't have too much time to work on them. Learn jetpack compose like I did if you want to help make this app better.

Any image artists want to put together some stylish app icons and submit them to Github?

I might if I get the time

I've made a set with a yellow background instead of beige

The Delta icon for Jerboa is pretty nice

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That is not normal. Do you have some sort of contrast setting turned on in android?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I'm pretty sure I don't. What is different in my case? The background color of the icon?

The tail and feet and outline are missing. 👀

It was exposed to the Mars atmosphere in Total Recall.

I love this comment so much. I keep rereading it. 🤣

Your background color is gone or it's the same as the outline color. Mine looks like this

I'm pretty sure this happens when Android ROMs set the experimental flag that forces dynamic icons. Google experimented with it during the beta, but ultimately disabled the feature. But all ROMs that ship the AOSP launcher can enable it.

In this case, Jerboa's latest version works normally with dynamic icons, so forcing it might be causing issues.

Looks fine for me. The squircle thing is setup systemwide.

[–] s6original 4 points 1 year ago

Maybe you got a bootleg copy.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Mine looks similar but a lot better!

I'm on LineageOS 20 w/ MicroG and am using NeoLauncher for my launcher.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Mine looks the same but I'm using a launcher not the standard Android one

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

My icon has a white background and then all looks fine.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Looks fine to me. Could it be a system theme issue?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I suspect you have changed a universal setting in your device that effects the way app icons appear. Square shaped and background color?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Can't find any, but I'm on a slightly obscure OS (https://e.foundation/e-os/) so probably they have made some choices like that. Thanks!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I think e os is running on very outdated Android version. So it might be because older version do not handle transparent icon well.

Also e/os has some modification on icon. It is possible they set the background to the boarder color of the icon, hence hiding the tail.

I would suggest to try a different launcher/icon pack see if the issue persist.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

/e/ os seems to be running Android 12, which I believe is the latest?

But yes, a different launcher solves the issue!

[–] haelusnovak 1 points 1 year ago

Currently, I am on Android 13
