# Element customizations
Generic element customizations, such as the size, position, border, shadow, and corner radius, can be configured from the Properties > Element > Settings tab. Let's take a look!
### 1. Type
Use the **Type** dropdown menu to select and switch between various element types.
### 2. Dimension
You can customize the size of each dashboard element by setting its width and height. Additionally, you can define its position using X and Y coordinates.

### 3. Border
Draw borders to highlight your elements. You can specify the border width and color.

### 4. Corner radius
The **Corner Radius** property allows you to adjust the roundness of an element’s corner. A higher value results in more rounded corners, while a value of **0** creates sharp, square corners. You can set a uniform corner radius with the **All** option or specify the radius for individual corners with the **Custom** option.
