Revision history [back]

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.

EDIT 27.5.14. More than 2 months after it seems that there is still no info about wether this will be fixed in any way? This post and one related to the same topic (https://together.jolla.com/question/33805/10420-covers-are-ugly-and-buggy-if-over-4-apps-are-open/) have over 50 votes now.

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).
