Nova Launcher 2.3 Beta 1 已经推出了，今次有多项改动，都是跟 Android 4.4 Kit Kat 相关，可以让手机的 Home 画面更像 Kit Kat。
例如：页面标记采用圆点, 资料夹采用圆形浅色背景图示, 图示标签字体。而部份手机更可以将 Status Bar 设定为透明。另外还有其他改动，例如：可以备份至外置 sdcard。

– Kitkat folders (Settings > Folders > Light Background and Folder Background > Light Circle)
– Kitkat font (Settings > Look and Feel > Icon Font > Condensed, requires Android 4.1+)

– 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
