My first instinct was to say "cursed," my second is to think "huh… kind of cute actually"
Okay this but the fuzz moves away when you put your finger on the screen
Let him cook…
And it reacts to you moving or shaking your phone.
With a hair simulation running, applying force every time you interuact. They have to justify the GPU and the best ROI is to maximize first impressions. Yes, it will make the launcher RAM-hungry and super unresponsive when multitasking but usability is secondary.
If your next phone doesn't have a 5090 running constant hair simulation and ray tracing do you even dare show it off in public?
i bet they could find some way to premake the hair animations on icons like this. like they really only need to move in 2 directions. you could make that look pretty good with like 200 canned animations. different speeds and start/stop styles is all you should really need. at that point it's not too different from creating a walk loop for a video game. you'd just be calling up various premade animations with a system to string them together believably. it's totally doable. certainly no worse than other "live wallpapers" that were a popular included feature about a decade ago.
But it'll be plushy!
Literally my phone after using this GUI for a few minutes will be like:
I don't hate it...
Icon pack this shit please
I know you're joking but I love this.
Right? I imagine with a bit of work, some people would use that.
this is a cool theme! I'd use it!
I'm more shocked by the shite installed on that poor phone than on the look of the icons. They look deliciously fluffy :) Make them squishy / reactive to pressure and you got a deal!
$1.99 ($2) with in-app purchases
puts on pirate hat Come child let me show you... inhales
A whole neeeeew woooooorld!
The in-app purchases are icon requests
Eww, the examples... There's Copilot twice but no FOSS apps I recognize (perhaps there's open source ones that come with AOSP in the System section...)
Cute CUTE CUTE ‼️‼️
Wish there was shapeless (light|dark) monochrome version of icon pack
Wonder wat sorta effects they would use if fully realised design language . How complex would implementation be , graphical requirements included . Notice onef widgets has fluff cut off by hard border . Every app would need rewriting from ground up to be fluffified
Hold that thought, I got a can of Degoogle here somewhere…
I don't hate it at all, if this were an option, especially if the hair would move, I'd consider it...
Yeah if the fuzz flattened when you passed your finger over it, I'd be in.
I unironically do, but then I might be a bit biased on that considering I am a furry.
No bias. I'm not a furry, and I totally prefer this theme over any other I've seen to date.
That looks pretty fun to me. I’d use it.
Of course, my favorite UI theme was the Winamp skin that made the whole thing look like it was hand drawn in pencil. Now I’m wondering if there is either a fuzzy or hand drawn Gnome theme.
Rollercoaster of emotions. I'm imagining how it would actually feel like if there was a sensation of fuzziness. And if magically it wouldn't get clumpy from dirty and oil. In some ways I'd really hate it but I also kinda love that I hate it.
Have you ever dragged 100% wool yarn across your teeth?
This makes me feel that. Not sure why.
Ohhhhhhhhh..... I know what you mean and I got shivers from the thought.
I prefer anything over a UI that could be called "corporate clean"
Cost-benefit analysis grey
Text-based UI can be super clean! Not great for small screens though
Actually, yes. I do prefer this.
I'd take Windows XP. It looked professional by comparison.
If only it supported modern Lawnchair launcher. I emailed the devs to let them know after I bought this icon pack. Hopefully they update their pack to support this. I def want fluffy icons.
This makes me feel like I’m eating my own tongue. Glass is only slightly less bad.
Some day we'll have haptic feedback so good on phones, it'll feel like you're stroking a furry wall.

Uninstall tiktok.
I hate it, but I support letting those that like it have the option to use it…?
Having people have the option is key, tbh. That's why I love using KDE Plasma so much, to the point of not wanting to go back to windows again.
looks nice, since it's just bitmap images i guess it's also better resource consumption wise
I kind of really want this, it's like $1.99 on the play store but I'm really trying to save money, probably shouldn't
