It just means you have the option to do both. Kvaesitsio has the app drawer one would expect, and a persistent search bar.
Oh ok, thanks. Does it do homescreen icons and widgets? Last I tried it there was something I didn't like but I can't remember what.
Can do homescreen icons. It has a widgets "pane". You don't place them on the home screen but put all widgets together than swipe to widgets. You can configure kvaesitso so it's not too different from stock android experience.
I have 5 "favorite" apps at bottom of screen, above the search bar, similar to stock android.
I swipe left for my app drawer, which allows for more pinned favorites above full list.
I swipe up for all my widgets.
Swipe down for notifications, like stock.
Swipe right for my camera app.
It's very widget focused. You can have a few favourite apps ( either your own choice or most used)
There's also a shortcut option to use the search. I use Total launcher with a swipe up gesture shortcut to open kvaesito's search and app drawer.
