Legado with MD3
📖 Introduction
Legado with MD3 is a Material Design 3–styled refactor based on the open-source project 👉 Legado (阅读).
In addition to a visual redesign of the UI, this project introduces multiple branch-specific features. It is also gradually migrating from the traditional View system to Jetpack Compose, aiming to deliver a more modern, smooth, and consistent reading experience.
[!CAUTION] Important Notes
Due to the theme system being rebuilt on top of the Monet engine, themes from the official version are not compatible with this fork.
Devices below Android 12: Custom themes and dynamic color features are currently unavailable. This limitation will be addressed after the Jetpack Compose migration is completed. (Due to limited developer resources, this process may take a considerable amount of time.)
✨ Branch Features
Compared to the official version, this project provides the following exclusive features:
- New Theme System: A fully redesigned Material Design 3 UI, with support for predictive back gestures and * *shared element transitions**.
- Reading Interface: More personalized reading layouts and menu configurations.
- Reading Records: Detailed reading statistics with timeline and chapter-based views.
- Enhanced Experience: Improved experiences for comic reading, audiobooks, and discovery pages.
- Bookshelf Layouts: More bookshelf layout options, with dedicated UI optimizations for tablet devices.
- Practical Features: Added book notes and smart companion groups (automatically categorizing read / unread books).
