Alrighty then, Nextcloud 📱☁️💻 (npub1rk6…hv4q) 34 gets rid of all the application icons across the top bar, and replaces them with a single waffle iron icon. One extra click for every single app, and no way I have have found to revert to the previous behavior, and not even a way to pin favorite apps.
This sucks. Compulsory UI changes are almost never a good idea.
And I'm not alone here:
