[feature request] Rounded corners

[agoldis]

I really like the app!

Would be great to have rounded corners (and possibly a shadow) applied for a nice polished look.

Apologies for the very lagged reply and thank you for the compliments! ☺️

This is somewhat similar to https://github.com/Gifox/Tracker/issues/207, but I'll reiterate:

GIF doesn't support alpha transparency like you'd want for shadows. Pixels can be either fully transparent or fully opaque, read more here. The best thing you can do for the web is to capture your window without a shadow and background, then round the corners and apply shadow directly in CSS – see how it's done in our FAQ.

However, I see how this can be handy for situations where you don't have control over CSS – ironically I came across this just yesterday creating a help article with Intercom. It's easier to make this work with the corners (vs. shadow), but these fully-opaque pixels won't always work. For example, if you post a light GIF with rounded corners on website that supports both, the dark and light modes, it would look alright in the light mode, but would look horrendous in the dark mode.

We'll have a think about this.
