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.

I have a downloadable example of something like this here:

> I believe that it's possible to achieve this effect with the built in gradient options. It just requires grouping multiple components at different angles. I finally found a few minutes at the house to play around with this, and here is a template that should be pretty close: [dropShadow.zip](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/uploads/short-url/3ha6m5BSLVEwFFrnwHDpslqjcIS.zip) (3.6 KB) Images: [image] [image]

Thanks, I think if I can get rounded corners on buttons, then I should be set to making the vision pages match.

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.
