Developers Tesla Coil has introduced Nova Launcher v6.0 beta in the Play Store. The last update was almost three months ago and now they back with all the requested features. The new beta update comes with features like a search button and improved settings layout.

Search Button

Nova Launcher v6.0 beta comes with a new search button which allows the users to search inside the setting. It’ll allow you to dig inside the menu to find the particular setting you need.

Improved Settings Layout

The new settings layout offers an improved interface by moving the Dock options under the Desktop section. Developers have also changed the settings hierarchy to make it easier to use.

Apart from these two, most of the changes are related to the UI customizations only. The new app drawer’s search bar given can be customized just like the desktop’s. Users are also allowed to select Nova Settings as the default search bar provider. The new update also offers some more Adaptive Icon shapes, including a customizable one.
