Ambience in background in Sailfish 2.0
asked 2015-03-03 21:15:15 +0300
As seen on a number of video's out there which feature Sailfish OS 2.0 on either the Tablet or the Phone, Ambiences no longer show in the background of apps. It is just a simple black background instead of a slightly dimmed version of the Ambience. Please at least let us choose to do so.
This is something that cought my eye as well. I really hope that the App screen background will be slightly transparent as it is now. The plain black is really dull and boring and ugly and... Well, I don't like it! :D

However, I'm not sure how much Jolla is willing to go back on the design, they've done a lot of work to make the UI what it is (supposed to be) in the 2.0 release. What I do hope, is that while the UI/UX (place your own acronym here) changes quite drastically there would still be the old options. I don't see a point in removing already implemented functions and not offering them with the new ones. After all - Jolla makes it for us - we make it ours by choosing what we want (and sometimes ranting (ir)rationally to them that they've done somethign we as users do not like). :)
