workspace-switcher: rounded corners and no borders

I didn't like the look of the workspace-switcher-applet so I started looking into the code and found that they used cairo_rectangle in the libwnck library. I started to write a bit of code that made a rounded rectangle of four arcs (in cairo), and replaced the regular rectangles with these. Here are some different screenshots of my results:

All the colors are exchangeable through .gtkrc-2.0, here's mine:

style "my_workspace_switcher" { fg[NORMAL] = "#1f1f1f" fg[SELECTED] = "#1f1f1f"

bg[NORMAL] = "#1f211e" bg[SELECTED] = "#ff75ff"

base[PRELIGHT] = "#ffa0ff" base[SELECTED] = "#ffa0ff" base[NORMAL] = "#505050" base[ACTIVE] = "#000000" }

so, what do you think?

Cool, good job. Now, if only you could have rounded corners on the menus.

Or the windows.

I thought the window borders could already. :confused:

Rounded corners all seem to be done with pixmaps. Since there's only 1 bit making things transparent, the rounded edges look horribly jagged.
