Hi NeXus, i'm 1x1x1x1-Scratch here. Today i'm talking about a feature you should add to the newest version to the labels :!: : Corner Radius and Label background drop shadow. I would like that, because i want to mimic the newest macOS Tahoe with that style of label. Thank you for reading this.
I know that this topic isn't very important, but i just have to recommend that feature to NeXus Dock. Thanks.

Dock icon labels in Nexus are already highly customizable. You can have a background or not, set the colors, font used, text size, etc.

Anyway, how about providing some screenshots of what you mean?

I mean like i know the labels are fully customized, but it doesn't have the new look, i'm attempting to make the labels looks exactly like in macOS Tahoe, with rounded pill corners (maximium), liquid glass transparency, and the labels background drop shadow. I only see the text has shadow effects, but why not add shadows to the background as well? And i don't have money to upgrade to the premuim version.

Apologies for the late reply and thanks for the screenshot.

The label is already very customizable and Nexus is not the MacOSX dock nor does it try to be (it is much more than that, while the MacOSX dock is pretty much limited to that look, Nexus isn't).

Still, I'll see what I can do about adding a setting for (more) rounded corners.

I think you can forget about the drop shadow, however, since the label is not a bitmap but "drawn on the fly".
