Nova Launcher Beta (KitKat Update) - Nexus 5 Themes and Apps

I personally have been waiting for Nova to be updated for KitKat...mostly for the transparent navbar/status bar. And the beta started today!
Heres the list of changes from the AndroidPolice post.
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

Now there are a few ways to get it. I'll let this page explain it. I would recommend doing it through Google+ instead of just downloding the apk. That way you get updates automatically through the PlayStore.

Once you join the Google+ community, the page should load. If you don't join the community first, you get a 404 or forbidden page.

Try setting margins to NONE and changing the grid size just note what the grid default settings are if you change them you might lose some shortcuts or widgets they will be there they will be moved to where you can't see them.... On Apex launcher I have mine set to 6x8 portrait and landscape but I just always use landscape. In portrait 6x8 does look a little stretched. try like 5x7 or 4x6 or 5x5 whatever works for you.
Nova Settings>Desktop>Scroll Effect>Card Stack.

You said that you wanted the lines gone......that option took the line out. Maybe you should switch launchers.

Nexus 5 stockish look
The kitkat easter egg is actually just a logo, so I took it and did a quick and dirty cut and paste to create these. Kept them in PNG format, so no image quality is lost in the process.
Don't know if anyone will fancy the black version, but it may work for AMOLED screens. For other colors just use the Gallery's editor to change the hue.
Note: They look best if you use Google Launcher to set the wallpaper in portrait mode. Also Nova Launcher have the ability to set wallpapers in portrait mode.
The 'square' version is for pre-KitKat devices, which tends to crop the image as a square.

This version is a massive balls up with a screwed up time line. Luckily I did a nandroid yesterday so rolled my phone back
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
Thanks for the heads up. I'm going to update it this moment.
I don't think the timeline is screwed up, but you wont have "Most Recent" as the first page anymore. I don't think they're going to change that anytime soon. you have to pick "Most Recent" from the sidebar (icon on the right).

It's there on the Alpha (not sure about the beta/release versions).
Go the the right pane and tap "Edit favorites", scroll down to feeds section and add "Most Recent", tap finish editing and it should be at the top of the pane.
