I did the update just now. But now I have 2 Raccoons in my phone. The old one and new one with new font.

Did you change the app ID or something?

[–] akesi_seli 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Yes I changed the application ID, you can uninstall the old one since it will not receive any more updates.

Oh. I will login on the new one then, for a moment it got me thinking am I hallucinating? 😆

Also can I move the settings from old to new via backup/restore or should start fresh with the new one?

[–] akesi_seli 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Yes, there is an option to export settings to a JSON file and you can reimport them in the new app. It's a while since I last tried the procedure but it should work.

I did it yesterday, the dark mode was not transferred, rest of the settings went OK I think.

Great news! I'll have a look at why the UI theme option is not transferred.

When resizing UI text, it does not make a lot of difference in actual size. In Poppins, the difference it's more visible than in the new font. Maybe it needs to be improved a bit?

Ok I have changed the scale factors recently, maybe I made them too similar. I'll review them!

[–] voracread 2 points 2 days ago

That and overall resultant font size is too small.
