Would there be a way to implement or is there an option to adjust the space between labels and icons/docks? Where as, you mouse over the icon in a dock, the label appears. Some docks are larger than others. So the text literally sits right on the edge on some themes.

Thank you in advance!

Oh hi there, stranger! Long time no see. :P :wink:

I think this is only happening because you have the magnify effect turned off for that dock. Rather than adding yet another setting, I prefer adjusting the position of the labels for that particular case instead.

Hey! Yes I am alive and well. Loving NeXus as always. You are right, I do not use any mouseover effects. So when it's static, it definitely appears a bit close.

Thank you again!

Ok, done. The position of the label when the dock is not magnifying is now based on the size of the dock's background 'border'. I tested it with several different backgrounds and it seems to work out pretty well.

In your particular case (Aero LowRes theme) the difference is 4 pixels (i.e.; the label will appear 4 pixels below where it appears now). Not a lot but more than enough for the text not to 'sit on the dock edge' as it currently does.

Awesome! 4 px in the eyes of extreme customization is a world of difference! I will look forward to it next update!

Hope you're staying cool! Here in Seattle we FINALLY had a cool day. Didn't even break 72. :)
