A screenshot of my #PocoF1, as promised! After I've gone and *customised* it 😉️

It's running #Phosh on #Debian #Trixie, with Eliver Lara's #Candy icon theme (modified a bit to work with more apps) :debian:

Screenshot of my Phosh home screen with a bunch of icons. The icons are outlines, each one with a different slightly accented colour, resulting in a kind of neon look. In the background is a Pepper & Carrot illustration by David Revoy.

One thing I noticed in #Phosh is that the file picker in apps like Tuba and Dino were a bit annoying. It was too wide for the screen in portrait mode (first screenshot), so I had to go into landscape mode to do it ↩️

But then I tried more mobiley apps like Curtail and Contacts and they had a cool responsive file picker (second screenshot)! ✨

According to this Super User post it depends on each app's widget. So do we have to just wait until all apps update their thing? 🤔

Screenshot of Dino with the file picker open. The height of the file picker is very small, so you can see a lot of the window behind peeping out on top and at the bottom. The sidebar is out of view, as is the "select" button. It's all in dark mode though.
Screenshot of a responsive file picker in light mode. It fills the screen perfectly, and all buttons are visible. Instead of a sidebar, there's a small button on the bottom left which you can click to toggle a popover "sidebar" for more navigation options.

@badrihippo The file picker depends on a bunch of things. For native distribution packages, it's typically the apps file picker. In your screenshot, the GTK3 file picker is a patched one to fit the screen better, while the GTK4 file picker is not - future apps can use adaptive Nautilus as GTK file picker since GNOME 47.
With flatpak and (not sure) also snaps it's the file picker the portal uses - hopefully one that fits well.

@badrihippo All that said: I recommend "Mobile Settings" (linuxphoneapps.org/apps/mobi.p) - with its Compositor menu you can make non-fitting dialogs fit (while they are open), and you won't have to do the "turn to landscape" thing.

@linuxphoneapps ooh thanks for the tip! I enabled the fitting thing for the Dino picker popup, and confirmed that it remains scaled even when I closed and reopened it. I was worried it'd make things too small to tap, but that doesn't seem to be the case 😁

Hmm, that's a lot of factors. I don't even have Nautilus installed (my Mobian came with Portfolio instead, so I decided to try and see how that goes). When you say "future apps can use" you mean *they* have to choose it right? 🔧
