it depends on the wallpaper :)

Unfortunately not :( take a look at the picture below. Colourful wallpaper (out of the Google wallpaper app itself) and still black'n'white.
First I thought it has something to do with the Google Assistant, but in fact the assistant is working with this modified version, there have to be other causes.

Actually it does depend on the wallpaper. The launcher is working fine on Nexus 5x Oreo. The Google bar changes it's colour with the wallpaper. You have set yours using Google wallpaper app. If you set it from Pixel 2 live wallpapers you get this:

Works great on N5x, the feed is left of the home screen. I cannot figure why, but when I tried the unmodded version first and opened the Google app (coz the feed doesn't work there) it opened with the 3 tabs at the bottom, which is not the case with this one

Could you please add iconpack supports, the possibility to hide apps from the drawer and the swipe down for notifications gesture thing? Then you would really be my hero and then you've made the perfect launcher for me

    The Rootless Pixel 2 launcher for Android 7.0 - 8.1

    Features
    - Based on Pixel Launcher P-4623511
    - Enable google now and weather without installing as a system app
    - Fix blue folders on Xperia devices
    - Change accent color to Pixel blue

    - Force circle icons option
    - Force colored Google logo option
    - Dark theme
    - Dark text theme
    - Fixed settings buttons visible in app drawer

    Here's a little video of it in action.

    How to install? Simple. Just download the apk and open it. And don't forget to uninstall you old Pixel Launcher first (if you already have one).

    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.
