@Moem UBWhats -?

I wouldn't do that, it doesn't sound like WhatsApp so it's less clear what the app does.

since it's a new version of your app, I'd suggest Whatsnew.
All right, I'll see me out

I like "Whatsnew" !

By the way I also have published a desktop application for whatsapp that fits well in KDE (but probably usable in other DE) and suits my needs ( Notifications, minimized state with small icon in the System Tray that allows to see fast if a new message was received ). All the applications available on snap being too old (Chromium engine too old), not compatible with Wayland, or limited in any way.

I mostly like "Whatsnew" because "Whatsapp" is a play in word with "What's up?" that is synonymous to "Whats new?"

I just had a call on whatsapp web on my laptop (linux, firefox) and it was the same very poor sound quality - so I think it is not a problem with UT but rather with linux and whatsapp web...

I've released a new version:

V0.1.3:

Rebranding to "Whatsnew"
Fix searching in messages and contacts
Calibrate keyboard height so that message edit area displays well on top of the keyboard in all cases
Fix scaling of "Medias" panel (added recently by whatsapp)
Fix 1px space at the left of chatlist

@mihael

Can you go back to your previous keyboard configuration that did not work well before, then update the app to see if it works better?

If you customize another time the keyboard, you will have to remove the app data with Ubuntu Tweaks, to recalibrate the keyboard OR do

rm ~/.config/whatslectron.pparent/whatslectron.pparent/whatslectron.pparent.conf

By the way I have renamed the app to Whatsnew but its ID will remain "whatslectron.pparent", cos it's not possible to change easilly

Now it is perfect! It auto-adjusted itself to the full height of the keyboard! Wow and thank you!

I have KDE Connect on my UT and UB Connect on my UT phone. When I receive a notifcation in Whatsnew on the phone, my linux desktop displays it as well but as comming from "pparent" instead of coming from "Whatsnew".

@mihael

Probably a bug in Kdeconnect. Cos the notifications are for the app "whatslectron.pparent", if it uses "pparent" as the app name, then its not normal, its the publisher name. If you take Teleports the app name is "teleports.ubports", what name does it display for the notifications in your kdeconnect?

mihael

@pparent I dont have teleports...
