I wanted to do the same also - so I did a bit of investigation. Actually turned out to be pretty easy. I use GIMP 2 program. After you follow the direction below save it as a .png file with any name. Save it to a folder on your phone. Then hold down app drawer icon on phone till popup box - select change icon. Navigate to the folder where you saved the transparent icon and click on it to select it. * it is transparent so you wont "see" the icon click on the screen and it will pick it * And that's it. Enjoy! - I know I did
GIMP 2 makes it easy to create a transparent image:
1. Pull down the File menu.
2. Pick "new."
3. Click the "+" sign next to "Advanced Options."
4. Select "Transparency" from the "Fill with:" menu.
5. Click "OK."

I believe he was asking for a transparent background when you OPEN the app drawer, like ADW, not a transparent icon FOR opening the app drawer.
I want side by side pages in the app drawer like ADW. Might have to switch soon if launcher pro doesnt step it up. I tried requesting stuff on their forums but it gets overlooked.
I love the launcher pro widgets so I'm not switching to ADW anytime soon, but I would love a transparent app drawer background.
+1 interest in transparent background for the app drawer...
+5 if it still maintains the 3d perspective while being transparent!

Holy crap man did you really say that??? You know Fede release updates pretty frequently to LauncherPro right? If the side-swiping app drawer feature is missing it's either because:
- Demand for it is low
- It's not important
- It's been overlooked
- Fede just doesn't want it in LauncherPro
But to say "if Launcher Pro doesn't step it up" is a little unfair at best. To each their own but LauncherPro is awesome.
I don't want to crap up this thread so I'm out
3d/transparent sounds awesome.
I would also dig the hell out of that.
someone get a response from a dev
Posted it on their forum.
where so we can follow it and show support!
sorry
I talk to the dev alot this is a no go it would causealot of instability any other colors
i think that if it can't be transparent black is the most professional and simple look.
any explanation as to why it would cause problems? i have seen some ROMS that have included a transparent app drawer, and i'm assuming they're not releasing roms with known problems like that?
yeah other launcher have it too,, adw, dell stage, modified touchwiz
i currently use modified touchwiz and this is definetly stable and bug free with transparant app drawer...
so it's a lil odd story..
Oh man, I REEEAAAALLY really really really want this.
Ive already bought the dang paid LP version so im pretty much loyal either way.... but I will admit the clear ADW drawer ALMOST won me over before i took the LP leap.
There's GOT to be a way to do it.. just havent found it yet.
+1
3d + transparent and then there's no contest.
Yep, count me in... I'd love that in LP.

3d app drawer with a custom wallpaper is an absolute must for me as I have a custom housing in which the pattern from the housing follows onto the wallpaper so when when apple drawer opens it loses the effect and I love launcher pro so quick!!!! PLEASE HELP
Is there a tested app which can hide app icons from the Google Now's App Drawer in Lollipop?
I'm almost ready to take the plunge and upgrade to 5.0 forfeiting Xposed Framework and a few modules I've been using, but one thing which would be annoying me constantly is the cluttered app drawer.
So anyone who has upgraded to 5.0 already -- have you tested any apps which allow you to hide app icons from the Google Now's app drawer? CCSWE App Manager looks promising -- has anyone tested it in 5.0? Any better apps you can recommend?
I definitely do not want to freeze or disable any apps, just want to hide their icons *from the drawer*, for example I may want to have an icon shown on the desktop, but not in the drawer.
Thanks!
I would also like to know this.
I tried App Hider from the Play store, but of course, it doesn't work to hide the apps. Plus, you have to be rooted. Hopefully, the developer will update the app soon.
Well, I went ahead and flashed 5.0 and rooted. However none of the apps I've tried from the playstore (tried like 5-6) could hide icons from the app drawer. In the retrospect I should have probably rebooted (or at least restarted the launcher) after trying some of them -- I haven't as none of the apps I've tried instructed me to do so.
So if you stumble upon an app which works -- wherever with or without root, please post away.
Whoa, I was still searching for potential solutions and found this: http://www.usoftsmart.com/t289594.html
I use apex launcher and it has the ability to hide apps in the drawer. I tried it to ensure it still works on 5.0 and yep. Of course you may not want to change launchers for this.
Thank you for your feedback, but yeah, as indicated in the topic I want to stay with Google Now launcher and want to hide app icons in its drawer.
Anyone has tried anything recently? What worked, what didn't?
Anyone, anyone? Bueller, Bueller?
Xposed for Lollipop + Xposed GEL Settings, just like on KitKat.

Highlighted the key part for you.
I have OPO Indian with stock ROM, can anyone please let me if we can have notification count on the icons when the icons have something to notify.
Ex:- in Samsung devices, when we have any Whatsapp message unread, the whatsapp icon says "1" or "2" on the top of icon. I know it is possible with Nova Launcher, but I need to stick to default stock launcher, So if anyone have any idea how to achieve this ?
Thanks a lot everyone for being in OPO family...
You usually need to have a custom launcher for this feature. Nova has it, but I believe it's the paid version.

Believe me, nova launcher is the best. Switched from stock launcher to nova few days back. I'm loving it.
The most recent update to the S8 and S8+ gave us the option to hide the navigation bar, and all is well until Nova Launcher updated their app just a few hours ago, and now the navbar is back in the desktop and I can't find a way to hide it. Isn't there a way to hide it? Damn Nova, fixing things that aren't broke.
It might not happen. There’s a thread on it on Google+. Long and short of it, the Dev decided to go with the TWiz implementation of having the navbar visible in launcher view.

I tought it was somerhing wrong and did a full reset.Nova had autoinstalled and i Just could not understand what was causing the problem with the navbarkeys on the homescreen. I use KLWP and hate the navbarkeys on the homescreen and applauncher. Glad i could Reed this post. I unninstalled Nova and downloaded Nova 5.2 and turned off autoinstaller.Happy to hide ny navbarkeys again..
It's sad that we don't get to have the option for this. I also just uninstalled Nova and reinstalled 5.2.
Suggest you all vent your frustrations at the developer or it'll be stuck that way for good.
Here's another thread on the Nova update & a reply from the developer. https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3629965

So now I'm choosing between 5.2 ability to hide navbar or 5.3 google now integration.
Action launcher allows you to hide navbar.

How do you get the 5.2 version please?
You can use BxActions to set the Bixby Button to toggle Full Screen which will hide the statusbar and navbar or you can set it to hide the statusbar and navbar for only the app you're in.

I know the link says beta but I'm pretty sure the ones not labeled beta on that page are stable releases. I downloaded and installed the one dated Jun 6, 2017 and so far so good. Nova launcher shows up when you press on recents, but that's the only difference from the Play Store version, from what I can tell.

If you guys are searching for a alternative to Nova there is Apex Launcher and Apex Launcher Pro. There you still can hide the nav bar and its comparable to Nova in many ways.

Apex launcher is quality too yes but the widgets don't have that padding which fills spaces not a major deal but did my head in can't believe nova changed it it was perfect before last update

Hey guys, just wanted to ask smth before buying this. Does this phone have notification badges with numbers near the app icons? Or just the annoying dots?
Thank you '
Dots, but you can easily install Nova launcher to get badges.
