A few observations about the image posted yesterday (20 April):
1.
Someting I have noticed in other distros as well is that the time setting for my time zone is initially 1 hour behind, irrespective of whether we are in summer time or not (I noticed this back in March before we turned the clocks). For instance, it is now 9.44am in the UK, but on first boot my Pinephone shows 8.44am. To correct this, I need to select another time zone and then go back to London, UK. This will load the time correctly. - Not a high priority, but perhaps it should be put on a "bug list" to be dealt with later.
2.
Under "Language & Region", I can select a UK keyboard layout, but the only entries in "Language" and "Formats" refer to the United States, they cannot be changed. I don't mind a different spelling occasionally, but would prefer the UK date format.
3.
The Geary e-mail client does not let me set up my account correctly. This may be because I own my domain name which is hosted on a provider's server with a different name. Example (not my real e-mail): myself@myname.co.uk can be found at mail.provider.net. But Geary rejects this server.
4.
As an alternative, I tried to install Claws Mail, but when I try to set it up, I am running into a strange keyboard glitch: The keys are mapped differently. Pressing Backspace produces "=" signs, for instance. Switching between "English UK" and "Terminal" keyboard layouts does not make a difference.
Apart from that, I am pleased that many apps now use the screen dimensions correctly, although I am not a big fan of Phosh itself because the running apps display takes up half the screen which IMO is not necessary. But this is is not your fault. It's the same in each Phosh distro.
Manyy thanks for the good work!
