Action Launcher has been a fan favorite launcher for years now, partly due to developer Chris Lacy consistently adding new features. Action Launcher 27 is out now, and here are some highlights of the new features:
- The App Shortcuts and Notification Dots can now be colored to match either the wallpaper or the icon itself.
- Action Launcher's custom search bar widget can now be placed anywhere on the home screen, not just at the very top.
- Users can now adjust the transparency of folders and the All Apps drawer via Action Launcher's Quicktheme settings.
- A new weather widget for Android 6.0 and later.

- NEW: Weather widget (Alpha). Requires Android 6.0 or later.
- NEW: Adjust the color of the App Shortcuts panels via Quicktheme.
- NEW: App Shortcuts, Shutters and Covers can be tinted with the highlight color of the controlling icon via Quicktheme. Allows for Twitter's App Shortcuts panel to by light blue, WhatsApp's to be green, etc.
