For theme creators.

Please note that I can still add more colors or properties, fix inconsistent color usages which were unnoticeable with built-in themes, or improve theming in other ways.

So I’d recommend setting closest parentTheme value to the colors you use in your theme & wait until theme creator will get to the stable release before sharing theme files.

About wallpapers in themes:

Right now you can only choose one of Telegram wallpapers to be used when your theme is active. Or disable wallpaper at all and set any solid color as a chat background. Later you will be able to include custom wallpaper in theme file, but at the moment please focus more on finding better colors for your theme, I hope features I came up with are good enough for this purpose.

wallpaperUsageId is difficult to understand, but is very important property, if wallpaper is a crucial part of your theme. I will try to describe how it is used:

1. Telegram X remembers currently used wallpaper for wallpaperUsageId=0, wallpaperUsageId=1, and for each custom theme separately when wallpaperUsageId=2.

2. Telegram X remembers last used light and dark theme. When you delete custom theme, it is automatically updated to parentTheme value. This is also used for auto night mode.

3. When you switch to / apply custom theme with wallpaperUsageId set to 0 or 1, following logic applies:
- Check last used theme with the same wallpaperUsageId
- If stored wallpaper is default for those theme, change wallpaper to the one specified through wallpaperId
- If stored wallpaper is non-default for previously used theme, keep old wallpaper.
- When wallpaperUsageId is set to 2, this logic does not apply. Telegram X will remember which wallpaper was used with your specific theme.

TLDR:
- if your theme only slightly differs from parentTheme, do not change wallpaperUsageId
- if your theme significantly differs from built-in themes, or specific chat background is a crucial part of your theme, set wallpaperUsageId to 2.

Examples:
- You create iMessage-like theme with plain white background. Set wallpaperId to 0, wallpaperUsageId to 2, and bubble_chatBackground to white color.
- You create WhatsApp-like theme and want to have similar to its background by default. Set wallpaperUsageId to 2, wallpaperId to 19.
- You just change accent colors of one of the built-in themes. Keep wallpaperUsageId default, set wallpaperId to the one that looks best with your theme (hold wallpaper thumbnail in Settings > Themes > Wallpaper to see its ID)

Currently available for 15% of beta users.

If you have one of these issues (in any TGX version for the last year, better not beta):

1. Files need to be redownloaded after phone restart / other event. After clicking on a download button, it downloads again (starts from 0%).
2. Files need to be redownloaded after phone restart / other event. After clicking on a download button, it almost immediately finishes downloading (100%).

First, verify that Settings > Data & Storage > Storage Usage > Keep Media is set to Forever.

Then kindly submit report to the testing group:

0. Specify whether you have #1 or #2 issue.
1. Exact steps to reproduce (if you know them). Like following: I download file, do X, then file download state becomes invalid.
2. If you don't know steps to reproduce, check & confirm if problem reproduces after changing time zone in system settings & restarting the phone.
3. Kind of affected files (any files, only audios, only documents, etc)
4. Include Full device model & Android & TGX version, like for any other report.

This is a very old issue that happens on a small percentage of devices and I'm unable to reproduce it. Technical reasons of why this happens are yet unknown. I would be glad if this issue will become resolved, since it sounds painful.

0.21.6.1069 beta

- If you experience issues with some settings being lost (e.g. adding proxy – restarting app – added proxy is missing), please do Settings – Hold app version – Logs – Testing Utilities – Test database, then follow instructions. You can test database even if you don't have issues with it, it would be useful too.
- Added more asserts (crashes). This is needed in order to improve quality and kill certain bugs in future builds. Kindly be ready to encounter them. If crashes in beta are unacceptable for you, kindly do not update just yet or switch to production version.
- Fixed crashes
- Internal core changes related to database
- Improved crash reporting (internally) for certain kinds of issues in order to resolve them faster.
