* Transparent top status bar on KitKat (Android 4.4)
* Fixed Hangouts’ unread count. If you use Hangouts as your default SMS app, the unread count now only includes messages from the last 24 hours.

Overview:
Cover is a smart lock screen that gives you the right apps at the right time. It replaces the factory lock screen that comes with your phone and includes features like peek, fast app switching and smart settings.
Four Key Features:
1) The right apps at the right time: whether you’re at home, work or in your car, Cover learns which apps you use and puts them at your fingertips.
2) Peek: quickly see what’s new and launch apps with a swipe.
3) Switch between apps: jump directly between apps, skipping the steps in between with Cover’s app tray.
4) Smart settings: set different ringer volumes and wallpapers for each place: home, work, car and out.
