# Messages overlay app

This app handles the display of messages and message notifications as an overlay pop up. 

It is a GUI replacement for the `messages` apps.

Messages are ephemeral and not stored on the Bangle.

## Usage

Close app by tapping the X and scroll by swiping. The border of the pop up changes color if the Bangle is locked. The color depends on your currently active theme.

## Firmware hint
Current stable firmware draws incorrect colors for emojis. Nightly firmware builds correct this.

## Low memory mode

If free memory is below 2000 blocks, the overlay automatically only uses 1 bit depth. Default uses roundabout 1300 blocks, while low memory mode uses about 600.
