I'm trying to compile the cargo-only example on my PinePhone in postmarketOS, but I've run into several issues: 1. You have to run `rustup-init` after installing rustup via `apk`. 2....

Here's a blogpost that mentions it and has a video toward the bottom: http://blog.davidedmundson.co.uk/blog/qt6_wayland_robustness/ My reply here describes what I'm thinking with the context of the rest of the replies...

So it'll be like (this is JSON): ```json {cell: [coords: 0-0, occupiedBy: 0-0], cell: [coords: 0-1, occupiedBy: 0-0], cell: [coords: 0-2, occupiedBy: 0-2], cell: [coords: 0-3, occupiedBy: 0-2], cell: [coords:...

I will need to add support for the XDG Desktop Portal's `accent-color` thing when I allow it to be changed in my Settings app. Maybe it will still be a good idea to offer it over D-Bus, too, but now I think maybe that shouldn't be the focus because the desktop portals thing will be more cross-compatible (some people might not want to use desktop portals though, so I guess I'll support both but focus on the portals).

For now maybe I should give up on trying to integrate TilesGrid and just have tile positions be a config file thing with a custom grid.

TilesGrid is just too hard for me right now. Here's what I can try: https://stackoverflow.com/a/61804867 I'll have to have a spacing property that's added to the x and y values...

That might help it be a little less unusable and allow tiles to at least be manually positioned by row and column in the config file until I can get...

Shouldn't need to though because it's fine at 100% DPI. Some commands from here https://stackoverflow.com/a/52863552 or here https://stackoverflow.com/a/21763870 may be necessary to set it, specifically QT_QPA_EVDEV_TOUCHSCREEN_PARAMETERS.
