Bug? Rounded cover corners [released]
asked 2014-03-18 12:19:15 +0300
Edit 2014-06-11: in the recent 1.0.7.16 update this was mostly fixed, however some minor issues still remain so I've decided to re-open the issue.
The remaining problems (AFAICT) are:
- in applications with cover actions that do not use the default glass-texture background (browser, media player when playing song, ...), the overlayed gradient in the cover-action doesn't take rounded corners into account,
- when pulling a cover towards a cover action, the pulled cover also doesn't take corners into account (hard to explain, but pull e.g. browser cover slightly to the right and observe the cover corners).
The look of app covers changed in the recent 1.0.4.20 update. The changelog mentions adding the "glass effect" to covers, but doesn't mention anything about the shape, and close inpection makes it seem like more of a bug than an intended effect. Therefore, I'm separating this into its own post.
Below are screenshots before/after the update, showing the change in looks of the app covers.
The difference is really prominent with the web-browser cover, I think. As you can see, it looks a bit buggy, as if the glass texture layer applies even to the corners when it's not supposed to, or some such. Hopefully this'll be fixed in the next update.

Where I also noticed a quiet big difference at the corner and especially on the right side is the Android (VM) cover. The brighter the ambience (e.g. Baby flower), the better you see it.

To see it, run the browser, go to the cover view, and notice that the cover itself is now rounded, but not the black overlay under the action icons.

torcida ( 2014-06-10 17:33:06 +0300 )editYou're right, good catch! Not as critical, but still a small visual bug. I'll re-open since it seems silly to create a new issue for that.
FireFly ( 2014-06-10 17:37:12 +0300 )editI agree, it's only a small visual issue, nothing important actually but nice to be corrected.
