If I look at the emulator, it gives some examples so is there a codebase somewhere describing not only the things called out there but other examples too? Talking of style related items and this is a largely a question for the Sailfish people themselves, is there some sort of definition on how apps should present covers? If I look at my phone (while not wearing glasses), I find it hard to discriminate between emails and text messages. In some of the early pictures of the phone, the apps on the Home screen were shown with pictures. The only Sailfish app on that screen that has a cover icon is the People app. But having installed SMPC, that is a superb example IMHO of how it should be done. _______________________________________________ SailfishOS.org Devel mailing list
