And just the effort of painting every one of those pixels one by one, it’s not like we have some magic tool to fill an image with the same color and call it a day.

Uh, makes sense, thanks for clearing that up.

So in my case it actually is Xiaomi being Xiaomi, screwing it’s power users, or any users in general.

Such a dumb restriction. I tried a new launcher a few weeks ago just to find out it would remove the gesture controls, which I’m already used to, had to go back to stock. I thought it was more of Xiaomi’s attempts to lock you in to their shitty ecosystem; quite sad it is like that even on other devices.
