As if the ability to add shading behind paragraph text wasn’t exciting enough, now you can customize the corners of that shading! As you set the color, tint, and offset values on each side of the shading, you can also set the corner size and shape. It’s easier than ever to create a well-designed block of text. So get creative with your shading—add rounded corners, alternate corner shapes, and sizes, or combine them with paragraph borders as seen below.

Remember that all these options can be added to a paragraph style. Apply shading (and borders) with custom corners in one click!
