How to change button shape?

Hi Till,

I don't think you can influence the shape explicitly. This is done
completely via Gtk theming.

The theming is defined here: /usr/share/themes/default/gtk-2.0/gtkrc
If you look for example for "fremantle-button-group-box" you will find a
style which defines those toggle buttons which are only rounded at the
outer left and right button.

There is the GtkStyle API with which you can apply a defined style to a
specific widget. It's rather cumbersome, but it might work for you. If
you're still interested, I can dig up some code where I used this API.

Cheers!
