<br>
I have been looking around at different themes and one thing I have been missing in openbox is the inability to have rounded window corners. (Otherwise, this has been great, by and large!) I understand that this is a philosophical decision made by the developers? I wonder why? Is it because it can not be done in an easy way that also keeps resource usage low? I am looking at the following theme on box-look<br>

<br>
which, turns out, though listed under openbox, is not necessarily an openbox theme. I guess, I am wondering what icewm and fluxbox give up, with their ability to have clean rounded corners on their windows. Ideally, I would have liked to combine this icewm theme:<br>

<br>
with this openbox theme:<br>

<br>
(I like the rounded scrollbar here, very unique!)<br>
<br>
Not wanting to start a war, but just wondering about the philosophy, and whether the reasoning is still relevant.....<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>> I'd be okay with a radius option for corners. The theme code would need to support it though, meaning borders would need to follow the curve. I started this code once but don't really care about it, so went nowhere.</div>
</div></div></div></div><br><br></div></div>That would be great (assuming it does not add on to the complexity of the code, and of resources). Should I put this in as a feature request on the bug-reporting machine?<br></div>
</div></div></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>> I'd be surprised if it's not there already. But if you can't find an existing bug feel free. Maybe someone will pick itup (probably not me).</div></div>
</div></div></div><br>Thanks, Dana! You are right: there is such a feature request from 2008, and you did respond to it then, expressing interest, but then I guess you did not have time for this. Here it is, expressing similar ideas, as mentioned above:<br><br>https://bugzilla.icculus.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2261<br><br>Is it possible for you to make the experimental code that you tried available -- someone may pick it up then? Or did you not get to that stage?<br><br></div> </div> </div> </div></body></html>
