Curvylicious?
One of the few things I wasn’t keen on when Leopard came along last year, was the dropping of the very slightly curved top-left and -right corners of the menu bar, and I kind of hoped they’d make an — at least optional — reappearance, along with the non-translucent menu-bar which was restored in 10.5.2. They didn’t of course, so I was pleased when I stumbled across Many Trick’s Displaperture. Although it provides options for crazy amounts of curvature in all four corners of your display, all I can see anyone really wanting is the smallest available amount of curvaceousness on those top corners, so that’s what I’d recommend.
The app doesn’t seem to modify any system files, and you’ll be back to the default as soon as you kill the application, which runs in the background.
Now that I’ve had my wish for a couple of days, I’ve shunned the curviness in favour of the default straight-edged menu bar — it was a nice experiment, but I’ve decided Leopard probably suits its sharper look, so I’m finally ready to let go. Still, I’ll never forget you, oh lovely rounded corners.
