-Redesigned the setup wizard matching Material 3 Expressive guidelines with a shape-morphing key animation.
-Rewrote emoji search as an inline panel experience to keep keyboard context visible.
-New keyboard resize ui.
-Reverted the keypress popup clipping workaround to resolve typing latency issues.
-Added horizontal mirroring for the backspace icon on RTL keyboard layouts.
-Deferred recent emoji list updates until the panel is closed to prevent sudden layout shifts.
-Normalized the backspace key width on Arabic layouts to match standard letter keys.
-Improved Samsung and Android 15 background blur compatibility with robust reflection fallbacks.

This update also includes a proper fix for the keyboard's rounded corners, eliminating the rectangular blur halo that previously appeared behind them.

FrostKeys v2.5.7

The release is up! You can go ahead and grab it right now.

I’m heading out of town early tomorrow morning, so I haven't had a chance to put together the full release notes yet. I want to make sure I properly format everything and give the right shoutouts/credits to everyone who helped test and suggest features in the Telegram group.

This build was a bit rushed to get out before I leave, so if you run into any bugs, please report them in the bugs topic in the community channel.

I'll post detailed notes as soon as I get the chance. In the meantime, please enjoy the update :)

made with ❤️ for the community

P.S. - No I don't know how to make it have liquid glass. I'm not going to work on it anymore.

Test, please ignore.

A very very belated release note for v2.5.7. NOT A NEW UPDATE

This should've been posted with the release ideally but between some family travel and getting sick right in the middle of it, I've been completely away from my desk and haven't been able to properly work on the app since the release.

I'm back at work again so i'm posting this now. Better late than never, right?
Here are the key changes in FrostKeys v2.5.7 :

v2.5.7 update brings a Material Design 3 Expressive UI overhaul across multiple panels, a new key style, a redesigned long-press popup experience, and clipboard panel improvements.

MD3 Expressive UI
- Upgraded the suggestion strip pinned buttons with MD3E's 'Standard ButtonGroup' look, smooth bouncy press animations, and drag-and-drop reordering.
- Migrated AI writing tools and Klipy GIF/Sticker tabs to MD3E 'Connected ButtonGroups' with dynamic shape morphing.

New Key Style & Appearance
- Added a new 'Default' key style matching the modern Gboard layout with adjusted padding defaults. (suggested by @icecreammmtasty)
- Added descriptions for each key style option in the appearance settings picker.
- Renamed 'Style' to 'Key style' and 'Colors' to 'Color theme' for clarity, and reordered day/night theme options.

Long-Press Popup redesign
- Added backdrop blur effect behind long-press key popups with circle/pill selection highlights and proper padding alignment. (design & idea by @Syntrop2k2)
