Well I mean, you could base it on a later version, and test it on older ones, but if you later on find out that your base version doesnโ€™t support a version that your client needs, youโ€™ll have a problem.

Thanks for the advice! ๐Ÿ˜„ Indeed this will involve a lot of testing and tweaking and I hope that they are aware that this will be a long running project.

Also they asked if it was possible to change the Settings application, instead of a full screen view they would like to go to a "dialog window" view.
Also 2 options here:

  • Make it from scratch -> can make it exactly how you want but a lot more development and testing to make sure that all settings still work
  • Start from the base settings application -> changing it to non fullscreen views might also be a PITA ๐Ÿ˜…

I have told them to best focus on the launcher first and in the longterm look at the settings application.
