How to make an invisible (transparent/blank) app icon in Nova Launcher?
In Nova Launcher Prime 6.x, how does one make an app's icon invisible (completely transparent / blank)? I can try to find (or create) an icon pack that contains a blank icon (preferably on F-Droid), but I'm hoping there is a faster solution.

What do the lines behind icons mean? How to remove?
On a LG G5, I see that the icons of apps are often shown with some added lined symbols behind it, which are not part of the icons design itself.

I'd be curious of it's meaning.
Is that just on my device, and i must have made an unintended theme change somehow?
**If not - how to get rid of the lines!**

Is it possible to use icon packs with the ASUS launcher?
I have a DigiLand tablet that I have downloaded and it runs the so-called "ASUS" launcher. I had downloaded many icon packs before my switch to this launcher. I am wondering, if it is possible to use icon packs, how do I do it? Thanks.

Do I need to keep the icon pack installed on my phone in order to keep using that icon in Nova Launcher? Or did Nova copy the icon to its data, and I can safely uninstall the pack?
The question's scope excludes workarounds, such as extracting individual icons from a pack. It's a good idea but for a different question.
