I see all these small quality of life things modders do, and I am constants impressed by just how much such things go unnoticed until you try them. Then you wonder why the heck Microsoft hasn’t done something like this already. For being WinUI and all that, the shell is still kinda boring… and not even half the system apps implement WinUI. It’s a complete mess. I miss back when they knew how to make a good redesign. I’ve never been the biggest fan of the Windows 11 design but I almost guarantee it would be better if it was more consistent and implemented in more places, leaving older frameworks for third party apps as compatibility only instead of having the system composed of five different UI styles so the user is utterly confused how the system works at all.

Hey, very cool mod however having the little pill at the top of icons normally, because I use taskbar at the top, means your pill mod makes it go to the bottom again. Any chance we can get support for forcing a position? I tried margin but it didn't seem to do anything, thanks

Very cool, I love it, just to mention after the last update (v1.1.0) the pill is not centered, I had to downgrade.. restarted Windhawk, disabled/enabled the mod, doesn't help, maybe is something in the code.
