Wish we had something like this... I don't care in the least about transparency, but my first love was wmii, the big brother to dwm... It was the only one I saw with "chopped off" corners and I really did prefer that look. It would be great if we could specify an arch or a straight chopped off corner or even a cutaway square from it... (of course, this would be subtracted from the border width and not the actual window. Anyway, I do hope someone can produce something epic. :)
