Centered Cinnamon Dock

Description

• Centered floating design with rounded corners and shadow effects
• Dynamic sizing that adjusts to panel content width
• Customizable transparency (0-100%)
• Adjustable vertical positioning to fine-tune dock placement
• Auto-hide functionality with configurable hover trigger zone
