The long-awaited Nova Launcher 7 finally arrives on the stable channel

After spending eight months in development, Nova Launcher 7 is now finally out on the stable channel. The long-awaited update brings along many improvements to the beloved launcher, including new animations and visual styles, a weather icon in the search bar, enhanced Nova search, a new swipe-down action, and much more.

While the previous iterations of Nova Launcher were based on the open-source Launcher2, the latest version is based on the latest AOSP launcher code, bringing refreshed animations and visual styles. The developers have also updated the Nova-specific code.

In terms of new features (via Android Police), you can now add a weather icon to the homescreen search bar. Then there’s a new swipe down gesture that you can assign to an app, Nova action, or app shortcut.

You can also reshape themed icons and toggle forced reshaping per icon. In addition, it’s also possible to change the corner radius of widgets. To do so, visit Nova Settings > Desktop > Widget corner radius.
