</div>And also that rounded corners without antialiasing makes baby jesus<br>
cry. And antialiasing needs compositing, which takes resources :).<br>

That is why I used etc. However the main point of my argument seems to have been missed. How many boxes do you see with round corners? Most boxes I've ever seen have square corners, hence the name box look. One uses a box look WM because of it's looks and simplicity. I can't speak for others but I don't use a computer for looks, beauty, and ambience. I use it as a tool and like other tools, form follows function IMO. Open box is extremely useful and functional without the bells and whistles. I laud the developers for the KISS principle and hope they keep it up.</font></div>
