Window Shape/Style

[Simon Lord]

Has anyone tried "set the decorations of stack "My Stack" to 16" 
to get rounded corners on their stack?  Does it really work?  
I'm at my wits end, I manually entered close to a thousand 
numbers and none came close to rounded corners.  In fact most 
simply made my stack disappear.

MAC OS X only.
