Revision history [back]

So a main aspect of the Jolla UI is the "glass effect" - a bumpy, grainy semi-transparent overlay type thing. One of the first things I hacked, after getting into Sailfish, was to change it into a smooth blur (https://together.jolla.com/question/183151/hackingmodding-system/). I found old questions on TJC about how the cover appearance changed from SFOS 1 to SFOS 2, and how many people didn't like it. I never used SFOS 1, so not sure what that was like... However, I haven't heard anyone besides me complain about the overall appearance of the glass effect. Is it really just me? I would think Jolla would have changed it. The whole thing comes from 2 png files. if you change them to solid picture pngs, the bumpy, grainy look turns into a nice soft blur, (actually more like glass).

Wouldn't that be much better overall?
