[Feature request] option to use the pre liquid glass UI

[LuigiBrosNin]

I installed forkgram mainly to not switch to the newer liquid glass UI, which to me is a downgrade from the previous one. I hope an option to keep using the pre-liquid glass is not challenging to implement/maintain in the client

I can second this, the "New" ui is terrible. A option should be provided to use old UI instead in the forkgram settings menu.

This would be one of the most awesome Forkgram features.
In fact, even keeping the old UI without liquid glass at all would be superb.

I downgraded to 11.9.5 because of:

1. new iPhone UI,
2. Strange artifact below the app top bar #385
3. Attach file button detaches and goes top, when you type full text line in input box.
4. Input box is "flying" by itself.

Therefore, I have lost new Forkgram's features, merged after that.

I understand, that supporting two versions of UI as an option is a hard work.

So, may be it is possible to release also v11 branch with backporting Forkgram features from main... At least until 11.9.5 version is supported by Telegram backend.

backporting Forkgram features

Which ones exactly are you talking about?

Maybe it's possible to make a TelegramX version of the Forkgram?
At least a small drop of Android-like design still remains there

2. Background check interval

I downgraded to 11.9.5 because of:

Forkgram 12.1.1 still retains full old UI, if that changes anything for you.

I know this may be not the best place to talk about it, but I really don't understand why Telegram adopted ios ui for android app.
I hope they won't do the same with telegram desktop.
Even if they wanted code unification, iOS has only about 25% market share, and as far as I can tell, iOS users don't really like Telegram much - prefer Meta software instead.

This is a change nobody probably asked for. It doesn't improve or help with anything, it's rather confusing and takes screen space with rarely used menu. Also, now you can have telegram in any color, as long as this color is white.

I have downgraded to 12.1.1 since new one has also this issue:
