Activities of "improwise"

For example, assume you what to modify the mobile navbar from this

To something like 6 bottom icons with the hamburger menu to the right and the seldom used Settings icon not forced on you (why isn't it under user profile to begin with?) and not using that bloated pink icon for the menu

AFAIK, only way to achieve something like this, which should be easily customizable, is basically to find the source code, do a lot of detective work with some trial and error and finally recompiling everything. And then you can say goodbye to any new updated without having to repete the process.

ABP answer please

We find that the basic theme is REALLY basic as the name implies. LeptonX on the other hand feel kind of bloated, very opinionated and based on our our experience, very hard to customize besides very basic CSS stuff. What you see is what you get and if you are not happy with that you are kind of out of luck and have to roll your own

Any plans for a new modern lightweight but easily customizable theme that also works well in mobile view and with Expo / React Native? Any alternatives to the ABP ones?

What is actually changed here as

"Updated React Native templates to use latest Expo/React Native standards."

Does not say all that much? Have the previous problems been solved?

Great, will give it a look, thanks. What about other improvements with regards to what has been discussed here previously?

Any news here or is support for current Expo in ABP still something that might happen in the future?

Can we please create a support ticket regarding this overzealous support bot?

It does, doesn’t? 😅 Do they value my inputs or should I just stop?

The point of these sticky posts elude me, as no one from ABP seem to monitor them. From what I remember, I've always had to create actual tickets for any follow up to happen.

Since obviously no one at ABP is working on this and probably never will, perhaps we should go ahead and close it?
