Uhm, yeah, I bet it would at least cause some warnings with awesome's CFLAGS.

Uhm, the plan so far was to have a corner_size and for each corner a setting
whether it should be rounded or not. Originally I planned a corner_size setting
for each corner, but maths defeated me (There were rounding issues).

Uhm... Actually, this could be done quite easy *if* someone adds some API for
drawing 1bit depth (black and white) pixmaps via some lua api :P

You create a 1bit pixmap (size doesn't really matter, it will be clipped to the
window's geometry) for your window. Everything which is black will be
transparent, the white part is what actually stays visible. Then you do one
single XShape call and the window got the pixmap's shape.
Well... XShape can do more than this and I just remember that I have to check
how it affects window borders. The spec allow you to set three pixmaps (I forgot
how those are called). One is describes the... uhm... shape? of the window.
Another one defines which part of the window is the border (the difference
between this pixmap and the last one is the window border) and XShape 1.1 adds a
new option which is the "input area". I'm not exactly sure what this does, but I
guess it does something input related. ;)
Looking at the current image lua API, I kinda doubt that it's worth to use this
for generating a 1bit pixmap. Plus, if a window is resized you pretty much have
to set a new pixmap. Everything else would look ugly or make the resize
pointless.
I think it's better to just have rounded via some C code for now...
Cheers,
Uli
P.S.: Since a 1bit pixmap is used there can be no gray involved and thus no
anti-aliasing is possible. I'd doubt if some fancy-shape window with rough
corners would look good...
