What's new in v1.15.1

I’m afraid that the list of changes is so large that I don’t have enough characters for a full description (Of the most significant: a completely new and modern icon pack system with support for changing the shape of icons on any Android 6+ devices, a redesigned color accent system, advanced options for adapting to full-screen gestures. Of the less significant: search for hidden applications, revised animations and design, and other changes)

Description

From the listing uploaded by “unique69”.

The CPL project began as a fork of the Rootless Pixel Launcher from amirzaidi (Amir Zaidi), who added support for Google news feed and the 'At a Glance' widget to AOSP Launcher3 and also added many fixes to the original AOSP version. Gradually, CPL became a separate project that provides many options for customizing and fine-tuning the interface. Notes for the Play Market Version: 1. A complete list of features, solving some problems and other useful (and not quite) information can be found on the 4pda forum: http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?s=&showtopic=903913 2. To enable the display of weather and Google news feeds, you need to install an additional plugin application, which can be found on the 4pda forum via the above link or on GitHub page: https://github.com/whataudoinghere/Feed_and_Weather_Plugin/releases 3. The application was developed for devices with a 'clean' android, so the successful launch and operation of all functions on third-party shells (MIUI, EMUI, Samsung Experience, etc.) is not guaranteed. 4. The application requests administrator rights for the screen lock function; in some cases, prior revocation of rights is required to remove the application.
