I'm using the OLED theme that comes with the app. Maybe this picture will help explain what I meant? The gaps I've drawn seem larger than they were before the update, that's all.




I feel like these are bigger too

Yeah there's a slightly bigger margin at the top on OLED compared to the other themes, don't think that's intentional. The others are the same I think!

Don't think font size changed, you could lower it though

I like the selection of app icons, I can finally pick something that matches the rest. I will miss the frog but an app that tells me I'm awful every time I open it feels right.

The spacings are mostly intentional (except for the top one which should be the same size, that seems to have sneaked back in), but I can reduce them a bit more.
This is probably because I don't use the OLED theme much because it's a bad theme, tunnel snakes dark theme rules.

The music itself is changing.
How do you change the launcher icons? Does it require Nova? I'm on Beta 3.6.0 version

Edit: Found it under Themes > Launcher Icon

It might be worth mentioning: it only changes the icon for Awful, the app, NOT the Bookmarks shortcut.

It also doesn't update the icon on the Samsung edge panel until you add and remove the app from the launcher

I'm guessing you don't have Oreo on your device? I saw that too when starting the work on my old phone. It's due to nova launcher's handling of the icons, specifically the options that's adapting older icons iirc. It gets the default icon from somewhere and just uses that for the transformation. It's a bug that's not in our hands afaict.

It should and does for me, just not in the selection list.

Anyway, the whole thing is a nice gimmick but more a side-effect than an actual platform feature so there might be some issues. Wow I should write that down.

The Bookmarks widget uses the current icon when you create it and then stays that way, which means you can have different icons for both if you like! You can even create a bunch of widgets and have the whole gang on there if you're deep in the Awful Lifestyle

(on Nova anyway)

seriously guys, getting multiple icons so you can avoid that drat frog is pretty hacky, it's not something Android lets you do, so Sereri's worked a bit of magic making this happen - if you see anything weird happen report it (and the Android version/launcher too pls) but don't be surprised if you do see it! And yeah there are still frogs in the app here and there

I haven't seen anyone else post this, but I'm noticing that whenever I initially open the app and click on a bookmarked thread, it'll take me to the thread but no posts will actually load. When I swipe back the post count will change as if I read the thread, but if I swipe back still no post loading.

However if I click back in it'll load up proper, but loads the thread as if I read the posts that never loaded. Not a huge issue but something I noticed with the recent update. On a galaxy s7, in the beta testing.

Yeah sometimes the webview doesn't initialise quickly enough when the app (re)starts, it's a known thing!

Until it's fixed just hitting reload works, but you'll lose your unread place on that page since the posts did load the first time, the content just didn't display. Swiping to the thread view won't reload the page, you gotta do it manually

Just updated to to 3.6.0b and the app had disappeared completely from all lanchers/app drawers. Was able to get it to reappear by resetting the icon to default.

Yeah, sorry about that, happened to me as well. Did you change it to the alternative, now default, frog before?
