Your home screen, down to the pixel

The grid

Grids up to 16×16
Half-cell placement, so an icon or widget can sit between cells rather than snapping to the nearest one
Set per Space — a dense Work grid and a sparse Bedtime grid on the same phone

Icons

Icon pack support with full compositing — background, mask and upon layers applied to apps the pack does not name explicitly, not just the ones it does
A built-in icon-pack browser, so you can see what a pack actually covers
Seven shapes, plus themed icons and dynamic calendar icons that show the date
Per-icon overrides: a custom image, a custom label, or a custom launch target on any single icon

Meridian's settings, listing Home screen with an 8 by 4 portrait grid, Dock, App drawer with 4 tabs, Folders, and Orbit with 7 items under Interface, then Appearance, Icons and Notifications under Style. — **Everything is a section, not a submenu.** Each row says what it is currently set to, and a search box at the top finds any single setting by name.

Meridian's app drawer as an alphabetical list with app icons, and a search bar at the bottom of the screen with microphone and handwriting buttons. — **One of four drawer layouts.** The search bar sits at the bottom, within thumb reach, and matches on initials, typos and T9.

The app drawer

Four layouts to choose between
Your own tabs, arranged how you like, with drawer folders
Hidden apps behind your fingerprint
Search that understands initials ("gm" finds Gmail), typos and T9
A fast scroller whose rail only takes touches that land on its letters, so the last column of icons stays tappable

Widgets

Widget stacks you swipe through
Resizable, and placeable on the half-cell like everything else
Meridian's own: a smart shelf of the apps you are most likely to open next, a quick-actions grid, a current-Space card, a Space switcher, an ask-anything bar
KLWP and KWGT widgets that behave properly — touch forwarded, offsets kept

Glass, and the system bars

Real frosted glass behind the dock, drawer, widgets and assistant — blur, colour, opacity and radius are all adjustable, not a painted-on tint
Meridian's cards sit on the same Material You surface other apps' widgets paint on, so a mixed home screen looks like one design
Status and navigation bars: light or dark icons, any colour behind them, and whether that colour fades into the wallpaper or fills the bar

Backups you own

Everything — layout, settings, icon edits, gestures, Spaces — goes into a single file you keep, restorable on any device, with automatic rotating backups alongside it. There is no cloud account involved because there is no account at all. One-tap import from your previous launcher is in the setup wizard, and if a crash ever loops, safe mode catches it rather than leaving you without a home screen.
