I am making a theme for the upcoming platform version 2.0, however, i am having trouble with rounded corners. can someone please help me? I am using Gimp and my theme involves a lot of transparency so opening it in paint is not an option.
Thanks,
The PC Guy.

First - here's a recent discussion:

Mr. Elchbau has a great tutorial here:

Tips:
When cutting your corners, make sure that your selection tool does not have the "anti-aliasing" checked.
If you want an area to be transparent, don't use transparency - instead, color it to 255, 0, 255 RGB EXACTLY.
Also, if you cut your corners too far back around the PA logo, the logo and surrounding area won't be transparent.
I made this half-pony, half-monkey monster to please you.
Thank you a load. I did not know what color I was to use, and when I opened already released themes to find what color was used for the corners, it just showed transparent. I tried many shades, without it working. This is exactly what i wanted thank you a load.
5/5.
Thank you for helping me with that, it worked perfectly.
However, I now have more problems;
The buttons on the right (documents pictures ect) have really pixelated images.
Could this be because I am using large pictures and the platform has to scale
these icons down? or could it be something else?
Thankyou.

You should size them to exactly what the platform is expecting: 24x24 PNGs
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
Thanks a load.
I have resized all of these images, and now none of them seem pixelated.
I believe that soon I will be ready to publish this theme. Thank you.
