</div>No quarrel also. But my original question was whether rounded window box frames could be done. There is no harm to aesthetic appeal if it is not a big deal in terms of hogging resources, etc. I am not sure what PekWM does (don't know) though the developers there claim that they are also very conservative (and resist the idea of adding new features unless absolutely needed).<br>
