[FEATURE] Add an option for translucent Dock/Hotseat background in Pixel Launcher #949

Description

@Firteb

Describe the feature

An option in Iconify (under Pixel Launcher settings) to enable a custom translucent Dock/Hotseat background container.

Key features:

  • Toggle to enable/disable the Hotseat background container.
  • Corner Radius: Slider to adjust edge rounding (from subtle rounded rectangle to full iOS-style pill/capsule).
  • Opacity / Color: Controls for transparency (Alpha) or adaptive Material You / Monet color.
  • Margins / Padding: Sliders to adjust how closely the background wraps around the dock icons.

Why would it be useful to add?

Stock Pixel Launcher lacks any visual background container for the bottom Dock (Hotseat), leaving icons floating directly over the wallpaper.

While many custom UI skins (iOS, MIUI, ColorOS, etc.) include a rounded, semi-transparent background for pinned apps, Pixel Launcher completely omits this. I really miss this aesthetic feature, but switching to 3rd-party launchers ruins the native system gesture animations. Adding this into Iconify would fill this gap while preserving original Pixel smoothness.

Example(s)

A translucent rounded capsule/dock background behind pinned icons on the home screen (similar to iOS dock).

Additional context

Iconify is currently the best utility for customizing stock Pixel UI without breaking gesture integration. Having a native-looking translucent Dock capsule option for Pixel Launcher would make the home screen look much cleaner.
