After latest update, I reapplied my icon theme (Numix circle) and it created double overlays. Now I can't revert back to the stock icons.

hmmm sounds weird, I just tried and it works :/ doesn't "Restore theme" work?

On which version of themepacksupport were you?

Nope, tried restoring and reinstalling icons from the app. The Jolla calendar app didn't get restored, could this be because of the dyncal is installed?

Just to be sure, uninstall DynCal and reinstall it after you've restored your icons. 

Unluckily, if you used UI Themer with themepacksupport 0.8.6-1, there was a bug in restoring icons, as I needed to rework the script a bit to enable the external backup feature; I pulled the faulty update back after a few minutes, but maybe the package hasn't been updated on your device. I apologise if you experienced such bug. 

To restore native/Android icons, you can reinstall the apps (without uninstalling them first) or update them (when an update is available).

How to change language?

The app follows the system language; if you are on a language not supported by the app, it defaults to English.

2.0.2-3 white screen issue for me (Xperia XC). Should I roll back? -- rolled back to 202-1, and ok. Both newer versions give me white screen.

Hi,

 

First thanks for the apps.

I upgrade my geminipda to 3.0.0.8 and with this release the pixel ratio seems broken.

Do you have any problem with the new release of sailfishos  and pixel ratio ?

Thanks

You can try to uninstall themepacksuport and then reinstall UI Themer to see if it helps.

I'm sorry, but I don't have a Gemini so it's a bit hard to help.

In fact, i just tried with cli and dconf says, that value can't be modified...

Perhaps I need open a case in together

My pleasure :) You can create your own theme by following this guide https://fravaccaro.github.io/themepacksupport-sailfishos/docs/getstarted...

Thank you for that.  Just so I'm clear I make a theme with only the font in it.  Do I do that on my phone or PC? 

A GUI that allowed users to place .ttf files in it would be a lot of work for you.

Sorry for the basic questions

Well, a GUI that does that would still require some guidelines from me. With the current wiki, you can create your own theme and you can copy it into /use/share.

The steps are quite straightforward:
1) you rename the fonts accordingly with the guidelines
2) you place them in the font folder
3) you give a name to your theme in the package file
4) you rename the folder that contains the font folder with something that starts with harbour-themepack-
5) you copy it into /use/share
6) you apply it from UI Themer

If you're a bit more experienced you can even try to make an rpm to be shared, but in this case, check the content license
