And if you prefer getting everything pre-made,usethemes! Or widget and template packs! ¿Is your device’sdesktopboring? Change it again Sam. Your style, your rules, Do. Ordo not,there’s a setting for it, tweak it, change it, shaken,notstirred.And remember, “There’s no such thing as ‘the unknown,’ onlyoptionsinside ADW Settings”¿Are you gonna miss it?*Endless Features*Most of the application have been reprogrammed and redesignedfromscratch. Also we have added a lot of new features. Here aresome ofthem:* Support for Android 7.1 launcher shortcuts (limited supportonolder versions down to 5.x)* Added new icons effects section.
