How to make a square topped, round rect bottomed graphic?

[David Bovill]

I tend to agree with you here Bob, I'd prefer more work on media support,
and native windows for revBrowser and externals than better native graphics
support. However for reasons that I believe are to do with improving the
underlying architecture in general, and for supporting better games and
other souch applications I think that RunRev are indeed doing a lot already
to iprove graphics perfomance and more is doubtless on the way!

NB - a combination of Jan's suggestion, and Harals seems to be doing the
trick nicely - just testing out that the gradients match (fingers crossed :)

Also, if anyone wants to join in with another Live TV event, I'll be showing
how to make them, and some tools for simplifying this on Saturday together
with Björnke and his amazing field validation routines - not quite sure what
time, leaving this up to Björnke :)

NB - I'm compiling the beginnings of a collection of iPhone / mobile /
tablet widgets for this. So far we've got a "switch" widget, buttons for
navigation bars thanks to Bernd, and the above I am using for the iPhone
list item group "forms". If anyone else has widgets to contribute, or would
like to demo them / how they made them, that would be great!
