“THE SHIP OF THESEUS”⛴ by Nothing OS

What Nothing is trying to do now {with the removal of N-Dots font) is exactly what lot of parents does to their children:

Child: “I want to go and play Football/Party with my friends”. Parents: “No, you better sit and Study.”

Child: “But all my friend have gone to play football/Party!!! ”. Parents: “But you are ”Unique". […N-DOTS]

Now when the child grow up:

Grown up child: “I now know that I am unique [….N-DOTS…], So I will choose to become an Artist.”

Parents:“ Get lost with your Uniqueness {….N-DOTS….], Go and get a normal job (font) in an IT company .just like all your friends (other brands) did.” 😂

Remember what happened when the same “COLOR’S” were filled in all the three Jars by our old friends.

I know Style is a subjective thing. So all I request is to give us an option for those who wish to keep the N -Dot Style as it is or migrate to New style. Or provide something like a Theme page where it can be selected and applied.👍

See it’s just my opinion that nothing should not remove the dot font from the settings text font and from the dotted time because that’s the thing which make this brand unique u ot ruin it by putting th normal text font like other brands or you can just give a option to change it from dot theme to plain theme (thanks regards a 2a user )

Thanks for all the feedback. We went a bit too hard on this and instead should have evolved our design language more gradually over time.

We’re adding N-dot back as a lock screen clock option, and looking into adding it as an option in Settings.

    Carl I like how it has evolved to animation. N Dot is the identity of Nothing and It was the first thing that got me interested in this brand. But todays video made it very clear that N Dot is staying and thats a breeze.

      burakdede Design is always subjective. Some like it and some dont. As they have mentioned a gazillion times, N Dots are good as design elements and for headers. They cannot be used frequently in any readable texts. And this is what they are going for. I mean it couldnt be clear than that. It suits better on widgets than on text.

          Ali Fakhruddin my reply was not about using or not using NDot. It was about them adding an option to revert a design change because some users don’t like it.

          If they’re going to do the same with upcoming design changes in future it’s going to be cluttered with lots of toggles and get underwhelming real quick.

          Btw, I was one of the first to suggest you to reduce using NDot in your community projects on Discord and Reddit. So I guess I totally get their idea.

              burakdede I agree. People dont like toggles, too many if there is. But we are talking about reverting the entire UI wherever N Dots are used. Painstaking if i imagine.

                  Yeah for me OS 3 is my que to leave. I don’t like the direction they are going at all. They are going from a clean stock Pixel like look and feel, to a Apple IOS, Samsung One UI look and feel. Then the apps, now we will be getting duplicate apps of certain things, just like Samsung so now we get bloatware as well. And I love the DOT font, and do not like the new font which reminds me a lot of Apple IOS. Even the new clocks are like IOS. If I wanted my phone to look and feel like an iPhone I would just buy an iPhone lol. I will probably sell my NP2 phone once OS 3 official comes out and we are forced to update to it and pick up a Pixel 9 Pro

                  Carl that’s what I like about Nothing OS, clean and simple. I hope it stays that way. Looking forward to OBT in November.

                  I wasn’t expecting you to reply btw. Thanks for that.

                    Carl that’s a real CEO,hatts of to you sir for understanding the feedback and implementing
