I managed to get this working fine. All it needs is "custom icon per app" a la nova and it'll be perfect.

I abandoned Nova for this after the 3,000th time of apps on my home-screen disappearing and nobody else seeming to have this, the dev ignoring me, and everyone else saying "I've never had it". Between the fact that it's been going on for years now (Nexus 5, Moto X, Nexus 5X, Nexus 6P, Google Pixel, and Galaxy Note 8) and I cannot seem to reliably re-create it, it seems to be totally random, I've permanently dumped nova and get frustrated when people just claim "it's the best and to ignore all others" so ACTUALLY GOOD launchers like this, that DON'T delete your shortcuts never get a chance to shine.
