Nach einer Weile ohne Update ist jetzt Version 3.6 des Rootless Pixel Launcher erschienen, neben unzähligen Bugfixes gibt es auch eine neue Funktion. Neu ist jetzt der automatische Theme-Wechsel, den Google ursprünglich mit dem echten Pixel Launcher auf den eigenen Pixel-Smartphones einführte. Je nach Wallpaper werden Bestandteile des Launchers in hell oder dunkel dargestellt. Eine abgeschwächte Theme-Funktion für das Android-System, wenn man es denn so will.
Folgend lässt sich der komplette Changelog ausklappen, den Download der aktuellen App-Versionen findet ihr jederzeit bei GitHub. Aufgrund diverser Besonderheiten wird dieser Launcher wahrscheinlich nie im Play Store landen.

Theme selection
After all the requests I finally decided to cave in and let users select their own theme if they want. I wrote a small program in C# that automatically imported the translations using Google Translate. The available options are:
-
Automatic: Will apply a theme based on the wallpaper
-
Default: The default light background theme
-
Dark: The dark background theme
-
Light: Has a brighter white background in the app drawer than default, and has dark text to complement it
-
Transparent: Based on the dark theme, but makes the app drawer more transparent so you can see more of your wallpaper
Bug fixes
-
Delay workspace loading after a failed shortcut drag by half a second. This fixes a bug where the app drawer would stay half open when very briefly holding a shortcut.
-
Add open source licenses preference in about settings category
-
Strip empty left page after a settings invoked reload that removes At A Glance
-
Import translations for all theme options
-
Never scroll the home screen when app drawer is visible. This fixes a bug where the top left and top right corner could be used to scroll between pages.
-
Clean up build.gradle, re-enable AAPT2 and update all dependencies
-
Avoid crash when widget previews have no defined size
-
Check the correct build version in WallpaperManagerCompat to remove logcat spam
-
Bring back long press arrow for search functionality. This can be used to easily unhide apps.
-
Reset scroll position when dragging up the app drawer. Fixes a bug where the app drawer was already scrolled if you held the background when closing.
-
Reduce drawer opening stutters by only querying enough intents to fill predictions
-
Change shortcut icon fallback to match the L3GO widgets icon
-
Allow for statically typed drawable name in the round icon attribute. Fixes some crashes and is able to load more round icons on Lollipop/Marshmallow/Nougat.
-
Improve proguard optimization rules by only optimizing constructors. Should slightly improve the performance, but is probably not noticable.
-
Add Cylinder adaptive icon shape to the available icon shape options on Oreo
-
Update Greek and Portuguese translations of Squircle
-
Disable new app drawer Google Search style on Nougat because of layout bugs
-
Disable white circle around icons on Go build
-
Disallow interacting with a widget that is being resized
-
Check both normalized and non-normalized search input for app search. Should fix the problem where some languages could not find any apps using the search function anymore.
-
Automatically hide the Google Search style app drawer search bar when the Google App is disabled
-
Add max_aspect tag for transparent navigation bar on OEM ROMs. Fixes the black navigation bar on LG phones.
