Frosted Blur

Would it be possible to add an optional frosted blur effect to the background for when the user is scrolling through the app list? Currently, it just dims the wallpaper, but maybe we could have the option to have it slightly blur too? Similarly, as some other posts have mentioned, so it matches the new Android 17 UI, would an optional frosted blur effect (or customizable background in general) background be possible for folders? I think the visual appeal and polish would go a long way. Thanks!

Wallpaper picker skips home screen / lock screen selection

After updating to Niagara Launcher 1.16.7, setting a wallpaper through Niagara appears to skip Android’s usual selection dialog for choosing Home screen, Lock screen, or both. The wallpaper is applied directly to both screens. Open an image from the phone’s wallpaper or gallery settings. Select Niagara Launcher / Niagara wallpaper option. Apply the wallpaper. The wallpaper is set directly without showing the Home screen / Lock screen selection.

Improve Easibility When Naming App

Hello Mellowdrop Studio, Please consider if we can search app using both their alias and original name, and/or set all renamed apps to their default original names. Occasionally, I renamed app and then didn't use it until 1-2 weeks later. Until then I already forgot the alias but still remember the original name from Google Play Store. I had to manually scroll through the list for every category to find the app. Additionally, I couldn't reset all the apps to its original names. So that means if I renamed 10 apps, I have to spend ~20 minutes scroll through the list just to rename them back to the original. Even when I reinstalled the apps, they still carried their alias. Greatly appreciated if these features could be considered.

Suggestion for a new feature - App search.

​Dear Sir or Madam, ​I am currently using Niagara Launcher and I am very satisfied with it. However, I would like to suggest an improvement. ​When I search for an application that is not installed on my device, the launcher opens the Google Play Store automatically. I find this distracting, as it encourages me to install new applications (for example instagram ). ​Would it be possible to add an option or a toggle button in the settings that would allow me to disable this behavior? This way, the search would not open the Play Store automatically. ​Thank you in advance for your attention to this suggestion. ​Sincerely, Anas.

Home Button delay / Launcher seems to close / Global Search not showing up

After the latest oppo find x9 pro system Upgrade, when I press the home button all launchers seem to “close”. I see the blank wallpaper for 1 second, but not the launcher itself. Therefore the global search, which used to work when I hit the home button when I am on the home screen of Niagara, doesn't reliably pull up. As this happens to be now with all other tested third party launchers, I sadly believe it's nothing you guys can fix. But it is so annoying that I must think of switching to the system launcher - after years of being a so happy Niagara pro user. But I still wanted to report it. Maybe you guys find a “workaround”. Meanwhile I'll try to find a way to get along with this stupid bug.

Support for Other Apps in Swipe-up Search

I’ve seen similar requests on here for the same reason: sometimes we wanna just search something and be done with it (no new tabs in my default browser and nothing saved to history). For this use case, Firefox Focus is my preferred app, but isn’t my default browser. The current system just gets a query link and pastes it to my default browser. Instead, I’d like to select a specific browser that isn’t my system default, and have that run the query instead. To be clear, I’m not referring to the search engine selection, which is something else entirely.
