[Vladi69]

µLauncher version: 0.1.4+accrescent (44)
Android version: 15 (sdk 35)
Model: Pixel 9 Pro
Device: caiman
Brand: google
Manufacturer: Google

No difference in both cases.

Thanks for reporting! Blur is not available sometimes (older devices, power saving mode, ... see here) In this case, µLaucher uses dim as a fallback.

Could you double check that power saving mode is not enabled?

Perhaps I should explain that behaviour somewhere, i.e. show a notification when the user sets the background to blur while blur is not available to avoid confusion.

I am on grapheneos and it doesn't work, but I like the launcher and this is a minor bug for me. Can I ask you how to make TAP + Up work? I can not solve it. Either it take long press or simple up gesture.

Thank you.

Weird, it is working fine on my Pixel 7a with GrapheneOS (tested with both accrescent and fdroid version).

Basically I do a double tap but keep the finger on screen after the second tap, then move it to do the swipe.

The relevant parameter is the time between the tap and the start of the swipe. Perhaps I should make that more tolerant.

OK, it was not clear the double tap to me, now it works. For the dim and blur problem let me know if I can help to solve it, it is not vital. I will ask for more relevant improvements or annoying bugs in case.

I think I should write a documentation.

I guess there is not much I can do. I tell the OS to blur the background, which works one some devices and doesn't work on others. Best I can do is to inform the user that blur is currently not available and dim is used as a fallback to avoid confusion.
