Hi. I built a simple Rust program to draw fake rounded screen corners on wayland. It should work on any compositor that implements wlr-layer-shell. Can be plugged into existing shell for extra spice.
Any feedback is welcome!

fake rounded screen corners
What’s the difference between fake rounded screen corners and real rounded screen corners?
i suppose this puts rounded corners on your not-rounded screen. real rounded corners would be a screen that physically has them, like phones and tablets (and some laptops maybe idk)
What’s a squircle, precious?
Ui design buzzword for windows or any somewhat square shape with rounded corners.
Yes, but it’s also a known term outside of microsoft:
(mathematics) A closed curve having properties intermediate between those of a square and a circle.
Aaand even within desktop space IIRC it originated in Apple ecosystem and then appeared in couple of places, for example in Hyprland and (correct me if I’m wrong) in Caelestia-shell, I don’t think microsoft has it though…
I think it’s a nice visual effect and is underrated.
