With a hair simulation running, applying force every time you interuact. They have to justify the GPU and the best ROI is to maximize first impressions. Yes, it will make the launcher RAM-hungry and super unresponsive when multitasking but usability is secondary.

If your next phone doesn't have a 5090 running constant hair simulation and ray tracing do you even dare show it off in public?

[–] thedirtyknapkin@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

i bet they could find some way to premake the hair animations on icons like this. like they really only need to move in 2 directions. you could make that look pretty good with like 200 canned animations. different speeds and start/stop styles is all you should really need. at that point it's not too different from creating a walk loop for a video game. you'd just be calling up various premade animations with a system to string them together believably. it's totally doable. certainly no worse than other "live wallpapers" that were a popular included feature about a decade ago.

[–] ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.org 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Of course. You need about 1 hair per 2x2 pixels on a 1080p screen and 4x4 on a 4K screen. That totals about 10,000 hairs per icon in the simulation, which can be precomputed into animations. Third-party icons will be 2D (or 2.5D if the FG/BG layer of the icon is handled separately, doubling the animation data). Now it's "just" a matter of drawing 10,000-20,000 lines with precomputed shading and textures from the icon's 100x100 bitmap render.

Also, the GPU is only used by apps while they're in the foreground, so the launcher might be able to use all of its power. And it could cache animations for existing icons (who cares if the system uses 32 GB of storage? Buy the higher option, peasant!)

But I want it to leave an indent where my finger presses, in the direction I drag it. And you have to gently rub it to get the indent to go away.

I know you're joking but I love this.

[–] ExtremeUnicorn@feddit.org 18 points 2 months ago

Right? I imagine with a bit of work, some people would use that.

[–] peterg@piefed.social 46 points 2 months ago

this is a cool theme! I'd use it!

I unironically do, but then I might be a bit biased on that considering I am a furry.

[–] 01189998819991197253@infosec.pub 14 points 2 months ago

No bias. I'm not a furry, and I totally prefer this theme over any other I've seen to date.

Literally my phone after using this GUI for a few minutes will be like:

[–] noretus@crazypeople.online 19 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Rollercoaster of emotions. I'm imagining how it would actually feel like if there was a sensation of fuzziness. And if magically it wouldn't get clumpy from dirty and oil. In some ways I'd really hate it but I also kinda love that I hate it.

[–] LillyPip@lemmy.ca 11 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (4 children)

Have you ever dragged 100% wool yarn across your teeth?

This makes me feel that. Not sure why.

[–] noretus@crazypeople.online 8 points 2 months ago

Ohhhhhhhhh..... I know what you mean and I got shivers from the thought.

I'm more shocked by the shite installed on that poor phone than on the look of the icons. They look deliciously fluffy :) Make them squishy / reactive to pressure and you got a deal!

[–] 01189998819991197253@infosec.pub 17 points 2 months ago

Actually, yes. I do prefer this.

[–] ZoteTheMighty@lemmy.zip 14 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I prefer anything over a UI that could be called "corporate clean"

[–] ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.org 4 points 2 months ago

Text-based UI can be super clean! Not great for small screens though

Cost-benefit analysis grey

[–] BartyDeCanter@lemmy.sdf.org 13 points 2 months ago (2 children)

That looks pretty fun to me. I’d use it.

Of course, my favorite UI theme was the Winamp skin that made the whole thing look like it was hand drawn in pencil. Now I’m wondering if there is either a fuzzy or hand drawn Gnome theme.

[–] T156@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

The squidgy gel look Vista/7 had was pretty nice, too.

I guess it only makes sense that after Liquid Ass UI, we'd get Fuzzy Toilet Seat UI

Eww, the examples... There's Copilot twice but no FOSS apps I recognize (perhaps there's open source ones that come with AOSP in the System section...)

Some day we'll have haptic feedback so good on phones, it'll feel like you're stroking a furry wall.

[–] Horsey@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I hate it, but I support letting those that like it have the option to use it…?

[–] lessthanluigi@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 2 months ago

Having people have the option is key, tbh. That's why I love using KDE Plasma so much, to the point of not wanting to go back to windows again.

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I don't hate it at all, if this were an option, especially if the hair would move, I'd consider it...

looks nice, since it's just bitmap images i guess it's also better resource consumption wise

Cute CUTE CUTE ‼️‼️

Wish there was shapeless (light|dark) monochrome version of icon pack

Wonder wat sorta eﬀects they would use if fully realised design language . How complex would implementation be , graphical requirements included . Notice onef widgets has fluﬀ cut oﬀ by hard border . Every app would need rewriting from ground up to be fluﬀified

[–] StarvingMartist@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 months ago

I kind of really want this, it's like $1.99 on the play store but I'm really trying to save money, probably shouldn't

[–] Sunshine@piefed.ca 4 points 2 months ago

Everyone on pawb.social loved this!

[–] boaratio@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

If only it supported modern Lawnchair launcher. I emailed the devs to let them know after I bought this icon pack. Hopefully they update their pack to support this. I def want fluffy icons.

[–] andioop@programming.dev 4 points 2 months ago

My first instinct was to say "cursed," my second is to think "huh… kind of cute actually"

[–] SlurpingPus@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Just give me ‘Vangers’ UI.
