Probably don't use an app that was last updated 3 years ago.
Custom Search Bar Widget is nicer and completely customizable. It was also updated in June.
I like everything but the "google" just randomly standing out there. It's the only thing that seems out of place to me.
You may want to check out CSBW
Hey there! I made an app called CSBW for this. It's a search bar widget that you place on your home screen and you can change the appearance of it in CSBW settings.
>You suggested workaround.
Did you read my entire post? Did you click the links I provided? What you're asking for already exists in browsers. I'm not repeating myself.
>But I'm sure to add in Sesame the opportunity to make own search engine with own icon and own parameters will be great extension. I even will pay for it. But the app is almost dead.
The app is far from dead if you take the time to learn how to use it. This isn't Custom Search Bar Widget, which I uninstalled for good reason. Maybe it'll do what you want.
I recommend the Custom Search Bar Widget - CSBW. You can create any search provider like the SeatchBar EX but it isn't abandoned. CSBW - Play Store link
Maybe not helpful, but Google's widget has always lagged for me.
I've been using Chain Search Widget for about a week and it works flawlessly. Not only that, but you can customize it to look how you want.
Just a few:
- Custom Search Bar Widget : switched to this from SearchBar Ex, I like the drawer design better (it's cleaner).
- Darker Pro : dim the screen lower than stock. It includes code filters, but I use cf.lumen for that.
- Slide : still the nicest reddit browser for me.
- Ultra : fun, bright icon pack.

This should work as well, for those of us who don't use KWGT.
Not the dev, but am a longtime user of this widget.
Go to Nova Settings/Home Screen/Search Bar Placement to set search bar below dock. You can also replace it with another sear bar widget by long pressing on the search bar and tap on replace. I use CSBW ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.natewren.csbw ) so I can customize my search bar to match my wallpaper. For the weather/calendar widget, I use Antoher Widget ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tommasoberlose.anotherwidget ). For stock wallpapers, go here https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.xda-developers.com/download-google-pixel-3-wallpapers/amp/ .
You should try CSBW. It's really customizable and it works better than the stock search bar for me.

Google search widget reskin pro version needed for pixel-like option
Icon Pack and Time/Battery Widgets pro version needed for that digital clock and battery widgets as well as for the icons I have there
Edit: I can't spell backgrounds
Depends what you want to display.
Personally I think it'd look a bit cluttered if you added too much more, you may want to distribute the existing things.
If you use Nova Launcher, maybe hide the icon text.
If you use Custom Search Bar Widget you might be able to find a slightly more minimal search bar.
Also I see you use GTasks. I'd also recommend Tasks+ as it has a very customisable minimal widget.
Custom search bar widget has it, and it's customizable.
An alternate to Sesame - For full functionality you need to pay one time: CSBW
Also look at Custom Search Bar Widget. I left Sesame for this one.
I use an app called CSBW.

You can use Custom search bar widget to get the new searchbar, if you want.
Just customize this to your liking man. I don't remember if you have to pay though
You could also do the same with CSBW
