!!!! Requires Root & Xposed Framework!!!!
!!!! Only for Google Now Launcher and Trebuchet !!!!I don't understand why Google wants me to have this omnipresent search bar on every home screen if there obviously is Google Now / Google Search embedded into the launcher if you go to the left page. So after some searching I found a way to hide it. But it will show again if you go to the left screen; no functionality is lost. Of course digging through the code I found some more things which are customizable :)++ Features ++Hide:
