Design Challenge -- Round Corner mask on images

[Mark Schonewille]

I had a mobile app project where the designers did exactly the same. 
They put round corners everywhere, around every element in the app. The 
result was a lot of unused space. It was cumbersome and inefficient and 
in the end it didn't look well. We decided to use straight corbers and 
the app looked a gazillion times better than before.

If you still want this, you can create round rectangles and adjust the 
corners dynamically using the roundRadius. Use the rectangles as 
backgrounds of groups.

Kind regards,
