I launcher, come molti sanno, rappresentano probabilmente lo strumento più immediato per personalizzare l’interfaccia del proprio smartphone. Una valida alternativa, in questo ambito, è rappresentata da Nova Launcher, che ha ricevuto l’aggiornamento 3.0.
Andiamo ad esaminare il changelog dell’update:
-
Subgrid positioning, snap widgets/icons to half cells. Greater control of placement/size without shrinking/cropping app icons
-
Support Today Calendar’s dynamic icon, also supported by icon themes from Kovdev including Domo, Lumos and Tersus and PHLASH’s new KEX theme.
-
Custom label colors (desktop, dock, drawer)
-
Individual drawer tab colors (tap on the tab and select Edit)
-
New tab style Colorblock
-
Vertical drawer scrolls under transparent navbar
-
Backup/Restore using Kitkat’s Document Provider (supports ext-sdcard, Drive, Box, etc)
-
Full 4×1 widget support in dock
-
Individually toggle widget padding (long-press on widget and select Padding)
-
Nova Action for First Item In Folder (Use with swipe/tap action of folders)
-
Honeycomb style persistent searchbar available on phones
-
Slight visual refresh (settings screen, menu icon, color picker)
-
Fix Samsung KitKat bluetooth settings shortcut
-
Fix home button action on Verizon Motorola
-
Restore “Force” wallpaper scrolling for HTC KitKat
-

-
All Apps tab dropdown menu no longer includes filters for New/Downloaded
-
The dropdown menu indicator has been removed from the tabs, though the menu still exists (with some modification)
-
Persistent Search Bar is either enabled or disabled, the landscape only option has been removed
-
Persistent Search Bar style is consistent between landscape and portrait
-
Icons are now centered vertically in their cells, rather than being top aligned
-
Phone landscape mode fills available space horizontally, rather than reserving space for the search bar/dock even if those elements were hidden.
-
Honeycomb style search bar no longer includes the menu button (which was not authentic to honeycomb anyway)
