6.4

Rolling out in December 2023

New features

• Photo Widget: Display your favorite photo right on your screen. Plus, get creative with customizable click actions. Tip: Pair it with Icon Pack Studio for big and awesome app icons.

• Automatic Daily Backup: Set it and forget it! Your device will back up your setup every night, as long as it's charging and has enough battery. Don't worry about storage; each backup replaces the previous night's.

• Themed Widgets: Not exactly new, but soon available for all! We moved the toggle and now it is easily accessible in Preferences -> Global Appearance -> Widgets.

• Clock Font: Customizable clock fonts are back! Choose a unique font just for your clock, perfect for when you want it to stand out from the rest of the app.

• Blurred Wallpaper Effect (for Wallpapers from Other Apps): If you are running a recent version of Android, you may have faced the issue where the blur effect is not working for your wallpaper because of an Android limitation. We implemented a workaround that allows Smart Launcher to access your current wallpaper by requiring you to take a screenshot of your wallpaper.

  Now, if the Blur Effect stops working after changing your wallpaper, you can enter "Preferences -> Global Appearance -> Theme," and click "Blur Effect" to access the wallpaper capturing screen.

• Dynamic calendar icon: Your calendar icon will update every day to match the day of the month

• Wallpaper cropper: The wallpaper cropper has been improved with new options

Improvements

• The number of home pages available to free users has been increased to 3

Other changes

• The Calendar Widget now features a button to quickly create new events (only in the larger formats)

• Fixed a bug that slowed down icon loading in folders
