Feedback/Ideas on the UI Design

/e/OS Smartphone Operating System Features & Applications

Hello everyone,

I wanted to share some ideas regarding e/OS, as I find the concept behind it really appealing and I’m considering installing it on my Fairphone. However, I have a few thoughts on the user interface design that might enhance the overall experience.

One idea is to address the transparency effects used in the launcher, which currently feel inconsistent with the rest of the system. It seems that the design language is heavily influenced by LineageOS, which is great, but a more cohesive design could improve user experience. For example, making the Quick Settings panel transparent or incorporating more transparency throughout the system could create a more unified look.

Another suggestion is to include the option to use the Trebuchet launcher from LineageOS. This could provide a more coherent design and allow for Material You features. A simple toggle in the settings could enable users to switch to this launcher for a more modern appearance.

Are there any plans in this direction? And thank you for the hard work that the Murena team puts into this project!

Definitely that would be big plus for me. They should bundle the Trebuchet launcher and recents provider as an option.

However they’ve stated before that it would take a good an amount of work to port Trebuchet launcher to /e/os. However Lawnchair and other launchers work fine without any porting so I don’t understand the problem.

In any case I don’t think that will ever happen. It would be grand if they did it, but they’re claiming it’s too much work which I think is a snow job. It’s like you’re going to use Bliss Launcher and be happy about it.
