        So... I decided to open this topic with what I love about UT because this project amazes me constantly and it seems that we hear more about problems rather than achievements. I will put below, as I discover them, features that are pretty neat or just plain unique in the smartphones OS world. We should emphasize this features to others, just to show them what could be done with just a handfull of people with no money, big brains and a lot of work.

          First of all would be: the community. Alwasy responsive, answers to your questions and problems, simple or complex.

            Then would be UT system as a whole.
            The fact that you can have an OS so advanced without the issues that Android and iOS bring it is in itself the biggest achievement. Now there is an alternative. It's not perfect. It will never be. No OS is perfect, but UT can bebetter than “the others”

                This function with the sliding app tray is just brilliant. Some were arguing that the background is unused space. I will tell them to see it as “your space”. You could have a picture that you love and it won't be covered by apps.

                  And the color theme of the sliding tray is so well designed. Big thumbs up to the team!!!
                  And the way the search window goes away with the tray shows that someone showed attention to details and a lot of programming!

                        As an advice to you for not triggering @Lakotaubp i would say to you that kind of topic is to be posted in "off topic" section of the forum.

                        And if you could reduce sizing of your images (by 4 would be good), that would be good for not trigering forumers eyes :grinning_face_with_sweat:

                        Beside making your posts much more clear and readable ^^

                        Edit : oh i see you just reduced a little images sizing, good start ("by 4" was from original sizing)

                          @Keneda I'm writing from the UT phone in the webapp right now so they don't look that big to me. I don't know how they are changed when viewed in desktop mode since I'm on mobile. I will refrain posting photos. I'm changing the cathegory now. Thanks for the tipps!

                                  Don't, that's your topic... And that reminds me one lack in UT, there is no tool for downsizing images.

                                  But a good app for quick effects on them : https://open-store.io/app/instantpho.dobey

                                      ❤ UT. 🙂

                                      How can you trust that an app really won't send some company your location data, when you tell it not to? The only way you can trust a program not to do something it isn't supposed to do is if it is free software. ~ RMS

                                        UBports community is doing well with :

                                        make contribute in every way imaginable as easy as possible for anyone,
                                        make come back as easy as possible (whatever the reasons for the previous departure)

                                        That's why I love UBports community and I think that's why this community has been and will continue to be successful.

                                          What I love about Linux in general, is that it may not be as refined as some others, but you can do cool stuff with it. Sandboxing, spoofing, security, hacking, etc.

                                              @Keneda I've tried with it, but I can't find a risize option whatsoever, just change the proportions width/height.
