Here is the first bug

Maybe it's related to the fact i changed the grid size of my device in UT Tweak Tool because i prefer small icons and they are way too big with default value.

@keneda Yes you are right.
I changed the Scaling in UT Tweak Tool and got the same bug.
Now the application cannot be positioned correctly because the image on the screen does not correspond to the touch screen coordinats. Need restore Scaling to default in UT Tweak Tool

@keneda about grid resizable
I plan to add this option in future releases.
It is also necessary to add a custom localizer for widgets (now it will be possible to translate only the interface)
I also want to understand how change the wallpaper and make live wallpaper.
Also need to create a search widget and a mini-browser (for example, to view mail)
But I will implement all this in the next releases.

@keneda STOP, no need to reset the Scale parameter in UT Tweak Tool . I found a way out, I will add this fix already in this release.

I would not have done this ^^

Fixed resizing bug. The grid area now adapts to the screen size.
You can download NEW version here uhome.pavelprosto_0.6.0_all.click

Please inform - the weather widget for everyone shows the weather in Russian localizations? Data should come to localizations by ip address.

Thank you very much for your great work.

Sorry, I can't put a screenshot of my Home Screen, the screenshot resolution of the Volla is too high (1,7 MB), the forum doesn't support the upload.

Moreover and this is a great lack for every UT user i think, the app InstantPho doesn't work anymore or not on the volla (OTA-16) to modify this screenshot (not tested before on the Volla). Please @dobey , can you see this ? Thank you. I don't know if InstantPho works on other phones with OTA-16.

That said, the Home Screen works well on the Volla. The first thing that comes to my mind, is to be able to move directly the widgets of the home screen by a long press if it is possible.

@domubpkm
Yes InstantPho no longer works on any device that runs OTA-16 (QT 5.12), issue already submited :

For a workaround, you can use imgur to host your screenshot then past link here.
I sometime use imgur to upload from my device then download my PC, and use Gimp to resize it (not crop as you can do this on galery), then use it on this forum, that's what i did for two of the above screenshots i posted.

@keneda Yes, you right but more easy i think :
Under ubuntu :
sudo apt-get install nautilus-image-converter
After resize with right click

@domubpkm Or you can use https://resizeimage.net/ from any platform.

@c0n57an71n I always prefer to do things 'locally' but yes always usefull to know this link

@domubpkm
I do not run ubuntu on my PC, anyway, let's focus on the Home app ^^

Yes for me.

Additionally, like i said, it's not possible to find easily your own place as it's only number shown after the city you search.

Here is what you get when you search a place in weather app, easy to find :

I would say rather than move, make long press on it opens the settings of the widget, and long press on an empty home screen area, open the edit home screen.

[pavelprosto]

@domubpkm I thought about it, I myself am trying to cause screen editing in this way. This is possible and I will do it either in this release, or in the next ones

[pavelprosto]

@keneda I remember this problem, I hope this widget will be released in the final release with additional information.
Just remember - you will need to download it from OpenStore separately

[domubpkm]

@pavelprosto Thank you for this.

Two other things:

• I would have preferred the beautiful TELEports icon by default.
• Don't forget the essential widget for Dekko if it's possible.

Please @dobey , can you see this ?

Yes, as mentioned, there is an open issue. There seems to be some problem with the content-hub stuff there, and I haven't been able to fully debug and find the problem exactly yet. There is an in-progress branch which fixes some of the warnings printed in the log, but it doesn't seem to solve the image loading issue.
