@dieharddan
I think the top bar is one of the really good design features of UT: it breaks system settings into logical groups, and they're literally one slide of a finger away.

It also goes beyond just being a settings feature, with the calendar, and the email/matrix notification functions. Personally I'd like to see that extended more, but I know I'm in a minority on that one.

Making the top bar itself customizable is an interesting idea though: I never use the Files or Language settings, for example, but I know that other people do. And they're always available under the settings icon, of course, for those odd times when they are needed.

Hi dieharddan.
+1 to that.

@Opolork I didn't downvote but i have a little riddle: what are the worst words to use on this forum?
A hint: Like in A.......D (replace the dots with the missing letters)

Hi domubpkm I can think of worse words.

@advocatux said in What's the situation with blue light filtering on Ubuntu Touch?:

@Opolork wrong answer! You need to keep testing and improving UT until 4 a.m. at least

Far too late for an extreme early bird like me.

@advocatux said in What's the situation with blue light filtering on Ubuntu Touch?:

@Opolork in the meantime there's a proper solution, you could use a blue light filter screen protector on your device, or even use glasses with that kind of filter

Those are also valid workarounds. Although I think it's good to ditch the smartphone around 8:30pm anyway - to wind down for the night. I go to bed at 10:45pm.

A workaround for now. I will not use the smartphone after 8:30pm to combat that pesky nighttime blue light.

Good to hear this.

Hi Alan. But blue light affects everyone's sleep. Sorry, but I don't think I want to go through all of that.

@advocatux said in Any plans to have encryption as an option in future Ubuntu Touch installers?:

@Opolork probably that'll be easier on non Android devices than the Android ones.

Android devices impose many limitation on us, like for example, we can't re-lock the bootloader currently and things like that.

On the other hand, and at your own risk, you can experiment with some approach like this https://forums.ubports.com/topic/1012/one-method-to-encrypt-home-phablet

I think I'll give that a miss.

@advocatux said in Any plans to have encryption as an option in future Ubuntu Touch installers?:

@Opolork yeah, Canonical had a lot of plans back then

Alas, Canonical have started and canceled a fair few things now.

I'd see a blue light filter function as a very high priority given how it's known to affect peoples sleep so badly.
