i now present to you me singing rhinestone eyes by gorillaz

I'm a scary gargoyle on a tower

That you made with plastic power

Your rhinestone eyes are like factories far away

When the paralytic dreams that we all seem to keep

Drive on engines 'til they weep

With future pixels in factories far away

So call the mainland from the beach

All parties now washed up in bleach

The waves are rising for this time of year

And nobody knows what to do with the heat

Under sunshine pylons, we'll meet

While rain is falling like rhinestones from the sky

I got a feeling now my heart is frozen

All the verses and the corrosion

Have been after native in my soul

I prayed on the unmovable

Yeah, clinging to the atoms of rock

Seasons, the adjustments

Times have changed

I can't see now, she said, "Taxi"

Now that light is so I can take

This storm brings strange loyalties and skies

I'm a scary gargoyle on a tower

That you made with plastic power

Your rhinestone eyes are like factories far away

Here we go again

That's electric

That's electric

Helicopters fly over the beach

Same time every day, same routine

A clear target in the summer when skies are blue

It's part of the noise when winter comes

It reverberates in my lungs

Nature's corrupted in factories far away

Here we go again

That's electric

Your love's like rhinestones falling from the sky

That's electric

With future pixels in factories far away

Here we go again

That's electric

Your love's like rhinestones falling from the sky

That's electric

With future pixels in factories far away

Here we go again

MateFluency

MateFluency serves as the designated design language developed by EcoWestern in 2018 exclusively for MateOS, initially denoted as OkayUI. Its inaugural presentation took place at EcoEvent 2 in 2019 and garnered considerable acclaimfrom online reviews and critics alike. Recognized as a noteworthy software enhancement during its time, it was concurrently acknowledged for its somewhat antiquated characteristics. Functioning as a direct rival to Samsung's One UI and Google's Material Design, MateOS faced public derision from Samsung during the A Galaxy Event 2018, where it was criticized for its purportedly subpar UI design. Xavier Fixes expressed that this critique served as the impetus for Samsung's commitment to developing a novel design.

The second iteration of OkayUI emerged in 2020, unveiled at EcoEvent 3. This revision incorporated additional enhancements, affording users increased phone customization options while presenting a more polished and inventive aesthetic. Notable improvements encompassed a redesigned call interface, more compact elements, and diverse color schemes.

**Several unrevealed revisions, namely OkayUI 3 - 7, featured the following enhancements:**

- OkayUI 3 (2020) - Introduction of system-wide coloring.

- OkayUI 4 (2020) - No recorded data.

- OkayUI 5 (2021) - Introduction of new lock and home screen customization services, gradient colors, and the quickE panel.

- OkayUI 6 (2021) - Integration of Lixo, dynamic wallpapers, new call profiles, vibrancy, smooth animations, extreme compactness, and the first version with restrictions.

    - Note: OkayUI 6 was compatible only with QA4 (original) and above, PA1 (original), and RA3 (original) and above.

- OkayUI 7 (2022) - Introduction of Dynamic Wallpapers 2, redesigned app UIs for QA7, and an update to call profiles.

A revitalized edition of OkayUI was officially announced on December 1, 2023, by EcoWestern on their official EcoDevs Portal (formerly EcoWestern Developers Portal). The rebranding to MateFluency aligns with the company's prevailing stylistic conventions. The announcement did not provide extensive details about forthcoming updates and refreshes. Moreover, there are indications that MateFluency is slated for recoding to ensure compatibility with the company's WebApps and Websites. Serving as a crucial component in establishing a cohesive corporate identity, MateFluency is reportedly integrated into ROS X4.5, MatePC Wind FF, [parts of] MateOS X4.5, DashEco X4.9, and various company websites, including ecowestern.com, economic.faq, easymoves.com, ecoalpines.com, rmstudios.com, [parts of] ecovilla.com, and the new store system, EcoWebPchs.
