1. Creating Transparent Folders on Nova Launcher
One of the unique features of Nova Launcher is its ability to display transparent backgrounds for each folder. While this feature may not significantly impact the Nova Launcher experience, it's essential for those who seek perfection or are sometimes just picky.
Step 1: Firstly, hold onto the screen for a few seconds, then select settings > within the settings, navigate to folders.
Step 2: In the folder section, simply choose the transparent background option and set the Transparency value to 100% for a transparent background. You can choose any color you like.
Step 3: Now, exit the screen to see the difference with this Nova Launcher trick.
2. Assigning Actions in Nova Launcher
Assign actions, assign quick actions on screen gestures with just one single action, this is a feature very popular on iOS and now Android can also do it. However, with this Nova Launcher trick, readers need to pay attention that you must be using Nova Launcher's VIP to activate this mode. Meaning you must own the paid version of Nova Launcher or rent it monthly to activate.
To activate, simply go to Nova Setting as per the first trick, here you choose Gestures & inputs and of course, then scroll down to the gestures section where there will be plenty of gestures and actions for you to set up.
3. Quick Screen On/Off Method
Normally, we have to press the power button to turn off the screen or else wait for the screen timeout and then repeat the process to turn it back on. But with Nova Launcher, users just need to utilize the double-tap on the screen feature to quickly turn the screen on or off. This feature is in the gestures & inputs section, you can refer to the above section for specifics. And of course, to apply this Nova Launcher trick, users must be owning Nova Launcher's commercial version instead of the free version.
4. Scroll Pages, Easier Page Navigation
Without needing too many unique or flashy effects, with Nova Launcher users will be allowed to fine-tune to the simplest extent when scrolling down or navigating pages.
Step 1: To achieve that, we need to access Nova Setting > choose the home screen section and here we have 2 parts which are transition effects as well as wallpaper scrolling.
Step 2: In both options of transition effects or wallpaper scrolling, you can choose effects as you like, although not supported much, the effects work well and of course, are beautiful enough for your usage.
5. Quick Access to Nova Setting
Besides the method of holding onto the screen for a few seconds then pressing settings, users can do similarly with the Nova Launcher app by holding for a few seconds and pressing Nova settings.
