PaperScrape v5.11 — Stable

v5.11

This release is about the houses and the buildings. The towers take their theme's colours and
come in three heights, the shops get colours of their own, the lamps by the doors go out by day,
and small houses can stand far away on the mountains.

• Towers in their theme's colours. Every theme now starts its towers from two colours of its
  own, chosen so that they always stand out from the hills and mountains behind them: brick and
  ochre on Autumn, steel and sand on Big City, coral and sea green on Beach, and so on. Before,
  every theme had the same slate grey, and on Big City the towers almost disappeared against the
  hills. You can still change them in World & scene, Cities, "Buildings", as before. The gallery
  cards show them too.

• Three heights of tower. A short one of two tiers, the one you know (a storey taller now, for
  its hall), and a taller one. Every theme has as many towers as before.

• Shops with colours of their own. The restaurant, the school and the bar used to wear the
  towers' colours. They now have their own, "Shops" in World & scene, Cities, with its own "Reset
  Shops to default". They start in the houses' cream, in a warmer stone on Winter, Christmas and
  Tundra, and in a whiter paper on Beach. Whether they stand is still decided by "Show Buildings",
  and the Shops line says so when it is off.

• Towers in town, not on the hill. The few towers, one to three on each theme, that looked as
  if they stood on the crest of the hill are now drawn a little forward, in the town.

• The lamps by the doors are off by day. They used to burn even at noon, and the bar's lantern
  at every hour. Now they light at dusk with the windows beside them, and with "Business hours" on,
  a shop's or a tower's lamp stays dark while it is closed.

• A hall at the foot of every tower. Instead of three bigger windows scattered among the small
  ones, each tower has a tall entrance hall: four big windows above the canopy and two beside the
  door, with people in them as in the shops' windows. Only small windows above.

• Distant houses on the mountains. Little houses far away on the mountains, with snow on their
  roofs when the winter palette is on and lit windows at night. They come switched off, on
  every theme: turn them on in World & scene, "Distant houses" (just under Mountains), where you can
  also choose how many; it starts at 50 %. They wear the colours of "Houses", the page says so,
  and a tap takes you there. They stand on the mountains, so on Beach and Big City, which come
  without mountains, turn the mountains on first.

• Mountains at 0 % are off. A mountain layer set to 0 % shows no mountain, and its switch now
  says so instead of reading on; a tap brings the theme's amount back. The gallery cards no longer
  draw it.

• Random themes and themes of your own too. "Shuffle a random theme" now gives the towers and
  the shops colours chosen so that they stand out from that theme's hills, as on the twelve themes.
  On a theme of your own, "Reset Buildings to default" and "Reset Shops to default" bring the
  colours of the theme it was copied from, or colours chosen against its hills.

• If you had already changed a theme. The new colours are where a theme starts. A theme you had
  already changed, a theme saved in the gallery or of your own, and a backup or a theme file from an
  older version can keep their towers and shops in the colours they had. "Reset Buildings to
  default" and "Reset Shops to default" (World & scene, Cities) bring the new colours; "Reset
  Buildings to default" also puts back the towers' switch, their amount and the business hours. On a
  built-in theme, "Reset this theme's scene to defaults" brings them too, with the rest of the theme
  as it comes, and it also removes a version of that theme saved in the gallery.

• A little more work for your phone. On our test phone the wallpaper uses about 2 to 3 % more
  of the processor than 5.10, mostly for the towers' new halls and the people in them; the distant
  houses, if you turn them on, add about as much again at 50 %, and a little more at 100 %.

Nothing else you have set has changed: your themes, colours and sliders are as you left them.

Still the case since v5.3: this version does not install on Intel-based devices or emulators,
Chromebooks running Android apps included. v5.2 remains the last version that does.
