Niagara Launcher v0.7.8-beta

• Fixed notification shade open gesture: swipe down e.g. on the favorites screen to open it. It should go without hassle.
• The media player widget shows up again
• Add a second workaround for the notification service, so it doesn’t stop working (hopefully)
• Removed image flicker on first start
• Dialogs are themed properly
• Prevent a crash which occurred while scrolling
• Updated translations

As you may have noticed, 0.7.8a’s workaround for notifications didn’t really help, it even made them not showing up on unaffected devices. That’s why I removed it and tried something else instead.
Looking at open issues online, it seems that every other Launcher has to deal with the same - more than four years old - issue which some still hasn’t been fixed by various phone manufacturers ;(
If notifications broke only in 0.7.8a for you, they might not work again either on 0.7,8a3 because of the reversal until you revoke and re-grant notification access. At least Niagara will now inform you if the third workaround is not working as well and gives you suggestions how to fix it locally.
Moreover, the option to send a log containing all visible notifications has been removed from Niagara’s settings. Instead, you can search for “/notifications” in the app search to get all the information about them, but it’s rather meant for debugging purposes; to check if the launcher extracts the notification’s data correctly.
