2.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 "Phantom White icon pack" and choose your preferred icons. 

3.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. Choose "widget - dot_35" from Colordots Kwgt. After selecting the widget, Place it on home screen as shown in home screen screenshot / thumbnail.
