In another thread, I asked if it was possible to add a background to link Text and you said:

2. At this time it's not possible. You could use nodes attached to the link as labels and customize them as you see fit. This also lets you display more labels for a link and gives you control over their position. Setting background for the built-in label should be easy and we'll add some property in the next release.

May I just suggest, for when you go to the next version,  that what looks really slick is when the link is broken by the text.  i.e., -- Text  -->

You could accomplish this on vertical links with a background option, but for links that are at an angle, I don't think a background would accomplish this look as the text is positioned just above the link rather than on top of it.

Just want to put that out for your consideration.

Thanks
