!!!! 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 :)
