Material You support

Description of the issue

Will upstream Material You support be added? This was a part of the 1.23.5 release.

Why should that be added? Just use the other version :).

hmm... it doesn't sound like you have a reason not to implement that. Obviously it's your choice but telling users to just use a different app which has feature XY is kinda a strange argumentation.

In any way, I would like Material You too, with your fork but as I said, it's totally up to you.

[Catfriend1]

I don't want to argument... Do you like to take a go on implementing?

i think Material You from upstream would greatly improve the visuals of the app. plus, most of the work is already done by upstream, you should only need to implement the changed ui parts from upstream.

[Catfriend1]

Do you like to take a go on implementing, especially make a PR?

[KraXen72]

no, i do not know kotlin that well. My opinion is that this would be a nice to have feature, but if you won't add it unless someone else makes a PR, that's fine. I can survive with the old ui, i barely open the app anyway, it just syncs.

i'm upping this tbh. i know it's not a big deal now, but the current material design version within the app is from 2016ish, and nowadays it looks a bit dated. i know function is prioritised over form in this case, but it would look more in place with today's phones. i might see if i can port this from the PR in upstream syncthing, authoring Bnyro ofc
