More time for what? Pap has stated he isnt adding icon pack support. Its take way to long and is too hard to do in smali.

Ok let me explain for a minute.

This will not happen the Icon pack support maybe if he decision add or not whatever, if they add this will no longer pure stock launcher. We/all don't like that.

And because he was working on the Lawnchair and this pixel2. He still a student may effect delay of update and bugs.

Oh, you mustn't know. Hi i made the official Telegram group for this launcher, I'm also an admin in the Lawnchair groups and I know Till and Pap and the other devs. Pap has already confirmed he wont be adding icon packs. It will never be a thing. Also towards that statement where you say you all dont want icon packs, tell that to the telegram community...

In the settings of the launcher, choose round. Under customizations you can force them.

Hey guys
Is there anyway to remove that white "effect" that's been added on the background?
It's annoying

Tested on several devices - works flawlessly except Xiaomi @ MIUI based on 6.0.1
Even with all given permissions, launcher doesn't show current date on home screen. Just blank space. After updating Google now feed - weather shows up but still no date and day of week.
Any idea why?

    FAQ
    Q: Notification badges is not working
    A: Read the instructions here. Only working on 8.0 and above for now.

    Q: It's crashing for me
    A: Attach a logcat when reporting issues or it will be ignored.

    Q: Weather/At A Glance not working
    A: Make sure your Google app is the latest version and installed as a system app then try this.

    Q: My icons are not rounded
    A: It's up to your ROM to decide which one is used.

    Q: It says "App not installed" when I try to change my wallpaper.
    A: Install Google's Wallpapers app from Play Store.

    Q: Does this launcher support icon packs?
    A: No. Neither this nor the original Pixel Launcher support icon packs. But if you're rooted, you can use Pixel Launcher Mods to change icons or apply an icon pack.

    Q: I got an error saying "App not installed" when I try to install this launcher
    A: This launcher has the same package name as Pixel Launcher. You need to uninstall other versions of Pixel Launcher first. If it is a system app, use the Magisk module to install this launcher. A variant of this mod with a new package name is now available.

    Q: I got an error saying "There was a problem parsing the package" when I try to install
    A: Starting from version 5 (based on P Pixel Launcher), this launcher only supports Android 7 and above.

    Q: The launcher crashes when launching some apps.
    A: This is probably a bug in a WIP feature in the launcher. A workaround is to change icon shape in launcher settings.
