A new big design feature in this update - transparent status and navigation bars! - New big user interface feature: transparent top and bottom bars. - Now, the top bars (where the menu titles are) and the bottom navigation carousel menu bar will slowly fade as you scroll down in feeds. When you scroll back up, they gradually become opaque again. - This also applies to the system's status bar (where the clock, battery, and notifications are) and navigation bar (where the home button area is). - This way, you will have more space to see posts and other content! - The bars don't become fully transparent, just semi-transparent (it would have been confusing otherwise). - This feature is implemented in almost all feeds (if there is enough content), except for chats and comments. - If you want the bars to become fully opaque again, just scroll up. - The transparency adjusts based on the visibility of the top bar. If it is fully visible, the bars stay opaque. If it is fully hidden, the bars turn semi-transparent. - This feature was also added to the profile feeds, even though there are no hideable top bars. - When you reach the end of a feed, the system's navigation bar, along with the navigation carousel menu, will return to full opacity. Important fixes and improvements: - Added a confirmation popup when clicking on links to prevent accidental navigation to external websites. - Fixed an issue where user UIs (user UI is the panel where a user's name, username, icon, etc... is in one place) wouldn't load after returning from some other tab (E.g., if you open the "User exploration" tab, then go to some different tab and return back, the user UIs wouldn't load. This was now fixed.). - Fixed an issue where clicking the "Go to challenges" button in your profile menu didn't update the bottom navigation carousel menu to the correct position for the challenges tab. Small fixes and improvements (you can skip reading this if you don't want to): - Corrected text to display "1 hour ago" (instead of "1 hours ago") and "1 day ago" (instead of "1 days ago") in the user UIs and also in user profile menu online status (you can access it by opening the profile options popup and clicking the 3 dots in the top right corner of each user profile menu). Also made the user profile menu online status text green if it is "Online now". - Resolved an issue where the bottom navigation carousel menu continued scrolling inertially for some time, even after reaching the last navigation panel on the right. - Redesigned the search button in the World Feed (where the latest posts from all users are displayed) to make it more prominent and easier to notice. - In the "User exploration" tab, when switching between different feed types or pressing the "Switch order" button, the scroller containing the "Switch order" button and info text now automatically scrolls to the beginning (so that a user can read the feed type description from the beginning immediately without the need to scroll to the beginning when the scroller is not in the beginning). - Adjusted the transparency of the post feed column back button (a button that appears in the 1-column view mode and takes you back to 2 or 3 columns) so it now matches the appearance of the status bar and top bar when they are semi-transparent. - When switching between 1, 2, or 3-column views in post feeds, the feed will now automatically scroll to the top (this is applied to all feeds except profile feeds, which is either your profile or other users' profiles). - When scrolling down, the top bars now hide at a slightly slower speed for a more natural transition. - When opening the "Settings" menu, the "Start tab" will now appear centered. - A couple of other minor improvements.
