🗳️ Anycons Voting 2024 is the year of voting. Not only will people across the globe elect their next government in at least 64 countries, but they can also vote on which distinct app icons we should design next for our Anycon packs ;) While not as consequential, we want you to have a voice on how we can extend Anycons to improve your and everyone's home screen. If you want to participate, go to Launcher Settings > Look > App icons > Anycons voting. You can find more info on our help page.
Quality of Life Tweaks
🖋️ Enhanced Icon Assistant for Anycons With Icon Assistant, individually set Anycons sync across all your Anycon packs. Moreover, we fixed some issues with auto-restore; switching back to an Anycon pack now restores all your individually set icons.
👀 Refined Launcher Icons We've updated our launcher icons, making them slimmer for a sleeker, more contemporary appearance. This update applies to most icons within settings, dialogs, tips, and the Niagara button, excluding Anycon packs.
🔷 Simplified Icon Shape Selection When selecting an adaptive icon pack (i.e., where its icons can have different shapes), Niagara Launcher now asks you to choose a shape. You can learn more about the change here.
🐛 Bugfixes
☁️ Fix Google Drive 'Backup Too Large' Issue Google Drive's automatic backups are limited to 25MB per app. This limit can be exceeded for users who have been using Niagara Launcher for a long time, and the backup will fail. We reduced the size of the launchers so that Niagara Launcher gets backed up by Google Drive.
🔎 Search Improvements We tweaked the search algorithm so it shows more app results. Moreover, searching for apps with non-Latin script names is more consistent, as explained here.
🌅 Morning Mode: Don't activate it when a sunrise alarm starts When the screen turned on due to Google Clock's sunrise alarm (the screen slowly brightens before the alarm goes off), the launcher counted this towards phone usage and activated morning mode. Now, morning mode only activates when the user passes the lock screen. If you never heard about Morning Mode and are curious what it is, you can learn more about it here.
🐛 Switching clock styles should now work on all devices. Note that when the clock is minimized, it defaults to the default style. 🐛 Fixed a back navigation bug when opening the agenda sheet for the first time. 🔧 Enhanced troubleshooting process for resolving issues with active Niagara Pro memberships. 🌍 Thanks for your continued support!
