shape , howto ?

hi all ,

i would like to know how do you do a shape ?
i want one with rounded corners but all tries failed.
could u give me some hints plz ?

i believe it is translucient with black area “for modeling” is it right ?

thx

If you had searched the forums (and you still can – I am not going to do it for you) you would have seen in the ‘Feature Requests’ section that a few people are calling for rounded corners on windows. But it won’t happen for some time (as you’ll see, when you have a look.)

It is possible to “fake” it using FvwmButtons, but this gets very ugly. You can, though, use shape masks for menus, if you so wish.

Heres the tutorial i used for using shapes with fvwmbuttons.
