In Vision, is a boxshadow style for tab strip possible?

I would like to make a box shadow around the tab strip.

Or do I make a transparent dark rectangle behind it?

Update, I found the bevel options. Messing with transparency and matte option.
It's looking not so good.

For posterities sake: In the internalFrameActivated event of a window you can place this code (I put mine in a momentary button for ease of use, so this will not work as is in an internalFrame event, the code for getting a reference to the button will need to change. from java.awt import Insets from javax.swing.border import CompoundBorder class RoundedBorder(Compound…

Getting true rounded corners on buttons is more difficult, but if you can make the background transparent then it's not extremely difficult to manage.
