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.

Does anyone recognize this issue (see image)?

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.

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

I might if I get the time

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

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

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

[–] RIPandTERROR 3 points 2 years 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?

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!

I think e os is running on very outdated Android version.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.

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

But yes, a different launcher solves the issue!

[–] RIPandTERROR 1 points 2 years ago

13 is the latest, and we recently got details on 14 today or yesterday I think

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

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

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

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

[–] 00111010_01000100 4 points 2 years ago

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

The tail and feet and outline are missing. 👀

poor little guy looks like fucking Rayman

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

It was exposed to the Mars atmosphere in Total Recall.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

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

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

Maybe you got a bootleg copy.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Looks fine in LineageOS 19.

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

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