Nexus 7 2012 Google experience launcher - landscape search bar location

Hi,
Is anyone using the new Google experience launcher (on KitKat 4.4), if so when you rotate the device so the home screen is in landscape mode do you have the top row of app icons hidden under the Google search bar.
I have cleared data and cache for the launcher and Google search app (the two apps needed for the new launcher) but still have the problem.
The search app is the official update from the play store and the launcher app I sideloaded.

I've been getting this issue as well. I believe in landscape mode, the search bar is not supposed to be visible (or at least not supposed to be a bar) and to fit in with the animation, it is supposed to glide off the top of the screen.
But I wouldn't know how to fix this.
new BUG!!

The icon in lower right angle of the App Dock is disappearing on every reboot, hopefully that BigG will fix this ASAP.
thank you in advance for any extra effort

Give us the icon!
For the navigation bar icons you could use a new Xposed Module called Android L Navigation bar, works excellent
also, you can use the Android L preview Keyboard (no root needed) https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?hl=es&id=uk.co.shenye.android.inputmethod.latin
Thanks for the link to the L preview keyboard. I have tried it on my 1st gen Nexus 7. It works fine, I tested it using English and Spanish. I have spent an hour going to and fro between the 4.4.2 keyboard and the L. I can find no difference in the swipe response, keyboard responsiveness etc. The L keyboard is missing the long press functions ie. long press "g" gets the "&" etc. I happen to use the long press functions quite a bit so the L keyboard is a disappointment in this respect. It looks l like the L keyboard is just a cosmetic change ATM. Maybe the final official release will get more improvements? A minor fault that I found that is the default keyboard color scheme cannot be changed, it's a minor detail. But I wanted to try changing the color scheme because the English/Spanish info in the space bar is very feint and harder to see on the standard L color scheme. The L "look" is cleaner, more Apple like, but I have decided to revert to using the 4.4.2 AOSP version.

No, you can change icons with nova launcher. Long press on an app on your homescreen and choose "edit". Then touch the current icon to choose a new one.
Bootanimation - https://mega.co.nz/#!Vx02xbhR!kZ2kfLxmgccUcxCEWMaDraOLKm1FyXSpwQ64v0iqWcY
Not a flashable zip
Backup and replace the original bootanimation.zip in /system/media/
Change the permission like the original one - rw/r/r
tinted status bar
To replicate it more you can install a xposed framework module called 'tinted status bar'. This allows your status bar adapt the color of the action bar, though android l uses a darker color for status bar compared to action bar. And yeah, you need root access!

There's a new xposed module which allow you to set the New Android L softkeys much easy. See screenshot.

Try this paid icon pack , it's as close as possible to the L icons

Semi AOSP Look & Feel (Home & Launcher)

Using Nova to achieve a semi AOSP look/feel.
This is nothing new here, but thought I'd share as we DONT have root exploit so this would be the next best thing (for me at least.)
I dislike most manufacturer ROM launchers. Nova fills the gap nicely.
Simply restored my nova backup from my previous z1c.
I also chose Google keyboard as I find its much easier and it's predictive text is more accurate then Sony's keyboard - specifically when using swipe (personal preference.)
Feel free to add your own suggestions to this thread.

Google search bar

Don't get me wrong.... I love Google search, but how do I get rid of the search bar from every screen? I can't drag it away. Is there a menu setting somewhere I'm missing?
Get a new Launcher i.e. Nova, very stock like but no Google Search bar, only bad part is that there's no "Now" Page to the left. GNL editor isnt update for Marshmallow yet I dont think since we dont have xposed on M.

Ah yes..... Dummy me didn't think that Google now launcher would of course be the stock launcher for a Nexus. Face palm. Might have to try out Nova. I haven't used a different launcher since my Droid Incredible days.
