I still like it a lot! X3

This is a very accurate name for the pack. The Soil one is so interesting! It grosses me out too much to, like, use it, but I'll bet it'd be a great mood-setter for writing a creepy horror novel. I think I like it as long as I turn off the progress bar and use a different background--it goes really nicely with Waterfall, and so does the Cloudy theme!

Oh, gosh, this is perfect! Thank you so much! I hate to always be coming here with problems and requests, because this app by-and-large is just fantastic for my productivity. Now I can finally combine the pixel hearts with the Sunset Theme! ^^

EDIT: oh my gosh it looks so GOOD, I'm thrilled with this update.

The main bug I'm finding is that choosing custom emojis instantly breaks the normal emoji selection. If I have the Vaporwave theme selected with default emojis, or any non-default emoji set selected, and then I enable custom emojis, it instantly resets to default. Turning off custom emojis does not fix this; I have to restart the program in order to get anything other than Default Hearts, or a mix of Default Hearts and my own custom emojis.

That on its own is an obvious bug, but my biggest issue is that it means I can't really pick and choose with the standard arrays. I can't open the Vaporwave theme to get the pixel heart, then add in a trans Minecraft bee as a party emoji--it'll just become default hearts + trans bee. Like I said, I really like the emoji sets, I just want to replace a couple emojis in each set that I don't like! So that's a problem.

EDIT: This bug seems to trigger from opening the Display Customization interface at all. I opened it to hide the progress bar and then had to restart the program to get the fire-themed emojis back.

EDIT x2: Actually, I'm getting inconsistent results with this bug. I just managed to get rid of it just by changing the emoji set, but I swear that didn't work earlier. Sorry, I wish my data were more helpful!

Getting more into the realm of "request" than "issue", I think my ideal would be like, a row of dropdown menus where you choose from all the normal emojis on offer (including the vaporwave emojis), and if you want, you can pick "custom" and mix your own with the standard options. That way, I could just pick a heart emoji, a vaporwave heart emoji, a mushroom, a flower, and a custom trans heart or whatever. That sort of thing. I really do like most of the standard emoji sets, and having to reverse engineer them is a bit of a pain! I also love the pixel hearts, but I'm not huge on the Vaporwave theme itself

That being said, the above idea sounds like potentially a huge hassle, and I'm happy with what we got! I just gotta track down my own pixel heart somewhere.

!!!!!!!! hot DOG I was midway writing!!!

EDIT: Okay, it's definitely a bit finicky so far, but I'll figure it out! I just gotta find a good set of pixel emojis like the Vaporwave theme, then only add the ones that don't have faces.

I've watched my girlfriend playing this game over her shoulder, and oh my gosh, it looks so cool! Do you have any plans to make a Linux version?

I know this may feel like trying to please a crowd that can't make up its mind what it wants, but is there a way to turn off the "auto-switch to the previous settings" setting? I saw what you said before about it being a nice ritual to re-set the theme and background manually each time, and I kind of got comfortable using it that way.  X3

Ooh, this is embarrassing, but I accidentally closed the "update" box and I didn't see what the new changes were! Anything noteworthy?

Fellow Linux user who apparently found this program at just the right time!

So far, I've adored this program. I'm such a fan of it--bought it and bought the custom themes pack, too. It's genuinely so pretty, so easy to get into the spirit, and I've hit my goal every day I've used it. I catch myself looking for excuses to use it. You did a wonderful job.

I've talked elsewhere about wishing the "secondary emojis" were more customizable, as an autistic girl with a personal discomfort around faces who very much likes a simple, pleasant, faceless setup. I swear, if an emoji pack ever releases with more emoji options and customizability, I will pay $50 on it and immediately go and write 4,000 words. That's my pledge. It would make my day.

That being said, I've been cranky enough about this one tiny silly thing. This program has wonderful sounds (big fan of the ASMR options, I'd love more expansion of the soundscape in the future, too!) and a great, simple UI. The backup feature saved my bacon last week, and everything is almost completely stable and pleasant to use. Aside from the "timer" others have requested, this program is everything I ever wished Write-or-Die could have been, and I'm going to keep using it for a long time to come. I'm going to use buying the rest of the themes as an incentive for finishing my projects.
