When long pressing on an app, the app has a lot of notifications you can't scroll down at all, i don't understand why the notifications are there in the first place but perhaps it was implemented for a reason, but there should be a way to scroll down from there

Also a way to change the icon pack icon or change the appearance for a specific icon instead of applying to all and the option to hide text labels, at least in the favourites widget

Also for the web search Google sucks, not the search engine but the app, it's better to use the chrome app for this the way smart launcher does it, so hoping to see that implemented too

Both of these options already exist. Press and hold the icon for the app you want to change, select the ellipses, select customize, then tap the icon. From there, you can search installed icon packs.

For the other, go to settings > grid & icons > show labels.

This can be changed in your Android settings. It has nothing to do with the launcher. It varies slightly by version and manufacturers, but can be found under default apps.

Thanks for your response, while i found that the icons can be changed on a per app basis and that fixes one of my concerns, my other two remain as the labels can be hidden only universally which is quite annoying when you're looking for an app you haven't used in a bit and just generally, however the option in the widgets section only for the favourites makes sense because you get a cleaner look for apps you're using on a regular basis and know what they are, and I may be wrong but Kvaesitso links all search queries to the Google app as my default is set to chrome and that's how it functions in smart launcher too, however if you still think I'm mistaken I'm open to going through some troubleshooting steps, thank you.

The default "web search" quick action launches the default web search app (which is Google in most cases), that is correct. However, you can add a custom web search action (settings > search > quick actions > add > web search), set it to google.com (or any other search engine) and use that instead to launch a web browser instead.

This seems to be working well and what i would like, thank you!
