Nova Launcher 2.3 Beta 1 已經推出了，今次有多項改動，都是跟 Android 4.4 Kit Kat 相關，可以讓手機的 Home 畫面更像 Kit Kat。
例如：頁面標記採用圓點, 資料夾採用圓形淺色背景圖示, 圖示標籤字體。而部份手機更可以將 Status Bar 設定為透明。另外還有其他改動，例如：可以備份至外置 sdcard。
– Kitkat scroll indicator (Settings > Desktop > Scroll Indicator)
– Kitkat folders (Settings > Folders > Light Background and Folder Background > Light Circle)
– Kitkat font (Settings > Look and Feel > Icon Font > Condensed, requires Android 4.1+)
– Kitkat app drawer (on by default, get the old style by long-press > Edit > tap the icon > Built-in)
– Transparent system bars on Kitkat (Settings > Look and feel > Transparent Notification Bar)
– Transparent nav bar on Moto X (Settings > Look and feel > Transparent Navigation Bar)
– Drawer tab indicator scrolls during tab change
– Drawer scroll indicator is relative to current tab
– Scroll indicators animate properly for infinite scroll
– Backup/Restore from external sdcard (on devices with sdcards)
– Fast scroll for vertical app drawer
– Fixes and optimizations
