Oh, that improves the UI quite a lot. I've been following UBPorts deleopment closely since 2015 and used UBPorts for a while, but that status bar thing was always one of the things that annoyed me most.
(Along with not having an easy way to install regular "desktop" apps just like on pretty much every other mobile Linux distro.
sorry)
) closing GP's parenthesis
Just an FYI, PostmarketOS has some desktop apps in the alpine linux repos, and it supports flatpak apps as well. Only issue is PostmarketOS uses the Linux kernel instead of android Kernel like Ubuntu Touch does, so the hardware support to get a working phone is still lacking. Right now VoLTE is still not working fully, and cameras are not fully supported.
Ubuntu Touch also uses an Linux kernel, just a really old one that has been patched to death by the SoC manufacturer which made it completely impossible to maintain the fork. Android itself uses those kernels. What I really want to see is a manufacturer launching a phone with full mainline kernel support. I'm sure I'd buy one in an instant just to get an up-to-date Linux kernel in combination with all components working instead of the ugly insecure mess you usually get from day one and which soon no longer receives updates.
Yah, I guess I should have described it as 'mainline' linux kernel for PostmarketOS
This looks good! Maybe too much padding between the slider and other elements.
We need something like this for GNOME mobile too
Thanks for the suggestion. I'm reusing SliderMenu from Lomiri for the sliders and there seems to be some inherent limit on how much spacing I can remove. Or I haven't been looking in the right places.

looks very nice, i hope it gets upstreamed
Yup, should the second priority for ubports after the Morph browser is fixed.
