Hi Neena - There is also a `label_offset` setting, which can be given an x,y,z vector in viewport coordinates. So if you want all labels to be in the foreground compared to their respective atom(s), you might set it via:
set label_offset, [0,0,5] I believe this can also be done in an object-specific fashion, so you could also do: set label_offset, [0,0,5], myobject Hope that helps.
