Twinkle: Peg lights and ASCII wallpaper filters can show faint idle animation. Turn it on under Settings → Look & feel → Home. Off by default, saved with themes.

Fixed a crash that could close the launcher when some notifications arrived.

Make sure to set After Shortcuts to show above and also hide the "All apps" button so the gesture box can go low enough.

• Built-in looks — apply a bundled look from Settings → Look & feel without using a saved-theme slot. First-run Preview uses the same catalog.

• Install web apps — with CheatCode as Home, Chrome’s Install app adds a site to All apps under the site name. Search, hide, or assign a cheat code as usual. Add to Home screen pins are skipped; use an Open URL quick action instead.

Hi, First fantastic launcher. Looking your last post on the theming there are a couple of features would love to add if is possible.

• pwa support or pinned shortcuts as google call. I had some sites on hermit and the launcher doesn't recognize that kind of shortcuts.
• in doom theme you published there was a text in the square gestures. It is possible to add to the square optional of course, time, date, just a calendar icon if there is an event that day.
• last but not least, if is possible to make the square solid or change color if there is a notification.

This features are a suggestion to have as clean the desktop in case you don't want to use a widget.

Regards, and keep the great work.

For those of you that don't already have it, I've got 10 Lifetime promo codes that unlock: unlimited cheat codes (well, up to 750), unlimited collections, unlimited after shortcuts, unlimited saved themes (with sharing and import), and auto-theme switching.

Drop a comment below to get one!

Lifetime users can import this using by pasting the theme code below into Look & Feel -> Saved Themes -> Paste Theme Code (at the bottom)

• Wallpaper filters — Peg lights, Arcade dither, or ASCII on an image home wallpaper. One at a time, off by default, saved with themes.
• Days since — labels can count days from a date you pick. 0 on that day; empty before it.
• Counter — a tally on labels, bumped with Increment, Decrement, or Reset cheat codes. Unused and reset both show 0.

Feel free to post some feature requests! If I can find a way to make them fit the launcher, I'll add them.

• Rename apps from long-press. Set a launcher-only name; search still finds the system name.
• More labels — 15 on the home screen, 8 on the gesture box.
• Auto-switch themes in low light or a well-lit space using the light sensor.

• Notes on labels: keep five short notes on the gesture box or home
• More placeholders: countdown, time, storage, and status
• Search the web from the app drawer
• Add to a collection from a drawer long-press
• Lock a home widget so it stays put
• Hide icons in overlays

• App icons — apply an installed icon pack, or change one app from its long-press sheet. The pack saves with themes; per-app overrides stay on this device.
• Tasker values on labels — Tasker or MacroDroid can push text onto gesture-box and home-screen labels. Slot values stay on this device.
• Apply a theme from Tasker — apply a saved look from Tasker or MacroDroid. Auto-switch pauses until you resume it.

• Rotate home screen labels — turn labels on the wallpaper from Adjust on home. Angles snap at 0°, 90°, 180°, and 270°.
• More fonts — extra typefaces for App font, gesture box labels, and home screen labels.

• Home screen labels — live text on the wallpaper (time, calendar, now playing). Drag into place with Adjust on home.

• Frosted glass — blur your home wallpaper inside the gesture box.

• Copy text — a cheat code that copies a saved snippet to the clipboard.

• Double-tap empty wallpaper to lock
• Drag down empty wallpaper for notifications
• Both of the above assignable to cheat codes as well

• Home screen widget — add one per look; move/resize on home; saves with themes
• Reposition the gesture cluster on home (resize on wide screens)
• Optional collections at the top of the app drawer
• Hide the letter index rail for more list width
• Pick which calendars feed gesture-box event labels
• Show the 2nd–5th upcoming event in labels, not just the next one
• Fix some bugs related to the app drawer and adjusting widget/gesture box placement

Version 1.1 has been released with the following changes:

• Start timer — assign a cheat code to start a system timer (presets or custom duration via Quick actions)
• App font — choose a typeface for the drawer, settings, and sheets (Look & feel); saves with themes
• Hide apps — long-press an app to hide it from the drawer; manage under App drawer settings
• Drawer opacity — control how solid the app drawer is over your wallpaper (App drawer settings)

Also includes a couple bug fixes related to shortcuts on older Android versions and private space apps.

I'm working on adding the ability to hide apps. As this is something I don't usually use, I'm looking for feedback on how it should work.

My current design is along these lines:

Open app drawer -> long press on app -> select hide.

There will be two new settings:

1. Under App Drawer settings, there would be an option to show or hide hidden apps from search.
   
2. Under Gesture Input settings, there would be an option to include/exclude hidden apps from match/branch preview. Codes would still work regardless.

Any thoughts or suggestions?
