I'm still waiting for a FOSS launcher to add padding adjustments for the home screen, widgets, and dock, half grid snapping, allowing overlap, and setting any widget as a search bar

And maybe other stuff. Still really sad Nova fell into this state, I genuinely depend on settings that are exclusive to it

I'll probably just be using Nova with network connectivity disabled for some time to come. Maybe when I blow up my home screen setup and start over I'll try to work within the constraints of another launcher :/

Maybe make some feature requests for Lawn chair? Or show support for existing feature requests if they're already made?

Yeah, I do need to sit down and do that sometime
