## What it is
A root Android app that adds features to the stock Pixel Launcher without Xposed, such as custom icon packs, themed icons, widget resizing, and hiding apps or UI elements. It works by modding the launcher at runtime on Android 12+.

## Use cases
- apply custom icon packs to the Pixel Launcher without Xposed
- add themed icons to apps that lack them
- replace the Pixel Launcher search box with a widget
- hide apps from the app drawer
- resize home screen widgets beyond default bounds
- hide the At a Glance section or status bar clock

## When to choose
- you have a rooted Pixel and want launcher customization without installing a custom launcher
- you want themed icons or icon pack support on the stock Pixel Launcher
- you want to tweak launcher UI like At a Glance or the search widget

## When to avoid
- your device is not rooted
- you use a non-Pixel launcher or custom launcher
- you prefer Xposed-based modules
