Nova Launcher 8.0
As the official release, the Nova Launcher 8.0 Beta has been completely redesigned from the bottom up, not just for Material You Colors Dynamic theming. The menu doesn’t exactly match Google’s current look, but it’s pretty close and in my limited tests felt a little easier to navigate than the old look.
Nova is full of variations and options, so it’s always been a challenge to do the research to find what you’re looking for – which is why searching is so useful. With any luck, this redesign will also help with a simple fresh coat of paint.

These may be the most noticeable changes, but there are a few tricks in this first beta as well. Browsing through the redesigned Settings menu reveals some new swipes for the homepage, as well as a new Bottom Align option for drag folders.
Lastly, here are some major improvements – Everything is based on Android 12L’s AOSP launcher and there are some bug fixes for the early Android 13 launcher. Here is the complete changelog and download link.
