Since the update to 3.3.0.16 the app settings of my Xperia X can no longer be opened on Android apps. This causes the settings to crash completely, see also here:

https://together.jolla.com/question/228290/could-no-enter-app-settings-f...

This seems to happen when the device pixel ratio (DPR) is changed. Can you fix this? If you need further data I will be happy to help you.

Yeah, it works fine. The issue is only seen in UI Themer.
BTW, I've seen the exact same issue (white screen) in other apps, most recently "Theme Tool". The developer has graciously fixed the issue. You can look at the comments for that app if you're interested.

I do understand. However the app is not usable even with cli. Once invoked (either via cli or gui) all you see is a white screen, and nothing else. The last app version that was still usable was 2.1.0-5.

Have you tried by using themepacksupport from root?

Several reasons, but the primary one is I do not like the UI changes.
Does that mean you do not intend to provide a fix?

I'm sorry, but I hope you understand that it would be impossible to cover and test the app against a huge variety of updates, that's why I always focus on the latest release. You could still use the cli tho.

UI Themer has not worked for a while on SFOS < 3.0.
I'm on 2.2.1.18, and I see this during cmd line invocation :

---

[D] unknown:0 - 0
[D] unknown:0 - Using Wayland-EGL

Is it possible to fix?

I made a WebOS Prelude font pack with your guide, if anyone wants - https://mega.nz/#!co9T1IxZ!kUl8hfNnOQJWB6SKvaX8x4BerslhRJ6lFiFfzs5ZF5k I haven't yet gotten around to setting up the whole 'releasing' aspect, and not sure if I will, so anyone can feel free...

No unfortunatly, when i fiddle with dconf sizemultiplier or threshold to reduce the size of the the font, it tends to be smaller and since it is light it become harfer to read ; i suppose a bolder version will be easier to read.

I issued Source Sans Pro (the default Sailfish OS font is based upon it) which enables new font weights. https://openrepos.net/content/fravaccaro/source-sans-pro-font-pack

Hi
Still some problems to unapply theme or fonts or sound. Always need to delete the app and theme...
BTW could you make the official jolla font a little bit bolder, it will be easier to read with smaller size font and pixel ratio. Thkx

Deleting the app does nothing different than triggering the restore theme. Remember that icon/font restore needs a homesceeen restart, while sound themes need a full device restart.

As for the default font, aren't the options under system settings > display enough?

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.
