For many languages, there are unavoidable long words needed for the labels on the button bar, for example, the standard word for Settings can be up to 15 characters long: https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroidclient/issues/1569#note_126469088 The BottomBar was scaling the active one up, and sizing all the fields based on that size. This removes that animation, and sets all tabs to always have the same text size. That makes it possible to make the spacing tighter. This also sets the text truncating mode to "middle" which sticks an elipsis in the middle of the truncated word and shows the start and end. closes #1569 closes !756

FAQ
- Why does F-Droid require "Unknown Sources" to install apps by default?
Because a regular Android app cannot act as a package manager on its own. To do so, it would require system privileges (see below), similar to what Google Play does.
- Can I avoid enabling "Unknown Sources" by installing F-Droid as a privileged system app?
This used to be the case, but no longer is. Now the Privileged Extension is the one that should be placed in the system. It can be bundled with a ROM or installed via a zip.
