2.Apply Wallpaper - Choose a minimalist wallpaper that matches your taste. A minimalist wallpaper is a great choice for a home screen setup as it provides a clean canvas for your icons and widgets. Download link of wallpaper used in this setup is above.
3.Change Icon - To change icons on your Android device, there are two methods you can try. The first method involves going to Nova Launcher settings, navigating to "Look & Feel," selecting "Icon Style," and choosing an icon pack from the available options. The second method involves pressing and holding an icon on your home screen until a pop-up tab appears. In this tab, you'll see a pen icon that you can tap to edit the icon. A list of available icon packs will appear on your screen, and you can select the Nyon Icon pack and choose your preferred icons. It's also recommended to keep only 5 to 6 icons on your home screen for a clean and organized look.
4.Add Widget in Home Screen - To add a kwgt widget on your Home Screen, press and hold the screen for a few seconds until the widget list appears. Scroll down to find the kwgt widget and drag it to the desired location. Tap on the empty kwgt widget to launch the kwgt widget maker app. From there, choose "widget - AT 020" from Snow Cone Kwgt. After selecting the widget, I did some changed in this widget such as repositioning date, weather, upcoming events, and battery and changed color to match the wallpaper. There are no predefined rules for following this step, so feel free to utilize your own creativity to enhance its appearance.
That's It, You are done.
