Huh? ofc you may 
The font is Helvetica World.
How is the coding going?

Fine I was indeed using drawRoundRect instead of drawRoundedRect
There's still a problem though, it's that the corners of the rectangle are not equal, which it seems is a known fact.
I tried using Antialiasing but it ends up bluring all the graphics which is clearly not what I want
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Glad you have that solved then?
corners are not equal?
antialiasing is a sort of blurring yeah but should
not look blurred at all, scrot?
Look at my scrots, I paint a really really hardly
noticeable outline on the top of my windows, does
this look something what you are after?
Here I use antialiasing.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah that's totally what I'm looking for. Are you drawing the outlines using path or roundedRect ? I'm using roundedRect right now, but I'm struggling on where to put the outline code, not to have it repainted
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
As I only want some highlight kinda thing at the
top (and not around the whole window, which would
break anyways if you dont use 4px borderwidth...)
I use a path, and a gradiented pen
the void Client::repaint() should suffice, that is
where Thomas paints it also (when more then 4px border-
width).

I managed to paint the double outline right. I created a rounded rect to fill in with the gradient brush. The original rectangle was painting over my outlines. But corners remains uneven, which seems to be a reccurent issue : QPainter::drawRoundedRect() drawing uneven corners and Corners of a rounded rectangle are not equally round 
I'm really interested to know how you painted the gradient on the status/bottom bar.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Corners uneven? Scrot pls. I've never had this problem
with antialiasing on, plus, without antialiasing you
will get ugly pixelated corners. read: USE ANTIALIASING.
To paint on statusbar:
Just install an eventfilter on QStatusBar and in
the paintevent paint whatever you feel like
There might be some better way to do this however.
For example, bespin skips these:
registerPE(skip, PE_PanelStatusBar);
registerPE(skip, PE_FrameStatusBarItem);
you might want to try and implement these and see
if you get what you want? I'm not sure however, I
have not read the proper documentation on these,
however, you *might* be able to do it properly
using these. Using eventfilters is really
expensive (especially if you paint some fancy
gradients or stuff like that in the paintevent).
I once had so heavy painting on the docks I
could hardly resize them anymore 
with care.

lol, why are you so upset that you can't make minimal shots and then hate everyone for it? There are plenty of lessor customizers that like your unrefined shots. But extreme minimalists like Izobalax, lynucs, miniman, akka and so forth, I'm sure will give you pointers. Just stick with what you know, no harm intended.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No harm taken
don't like mine [period]. Anything deeper beyond
that is between your ears
Heeeeeey!?!?! your that pixelfuckers dude that
knows the secret rules of customizing right?
Didn't think I'd hear from you again. Glad
I could piss you off a little again tho
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
face meeting palm. Why in the world do you always get so defensive and upset any time someone gives you advise? It's as if you don't like what you hear you can't take it. I will indulge this no longer and if you ever want to get better at customizing, pixelfuckers is there as I see you remember.
P.S. If you want to piss me off, although very difficult, sign up at pf and submit a shot. That might make me a bit perturbed.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Okey, first of all, what you call customizing, I
call shit. Second, worst vice there is, is advice.
Third, I can take anything, you just got to be ready
to take my response.
And still, the answer is no, I don't want to get better
at something I do not do, and that is customize. I
do not customize now and never will.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You spat in the face of many of your own followers that are minimalists, wow. Well, I'm sorry to see you will no longer be posting shots of your entry level customized(altered appearance)screens. Its weird because you talk on the other side with me on another of my ghost accounts, even on this very shot comment under that name, hehe. Didn't mean to get you so worried and upset. Good day.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'm upset now also? This just gets better
-No, I'm hostile, to pretty much everything that isn't
me, it's in my Finnish nature.
So, I should be worried now, there are somekinda
enlightened people stalking me on deviantart :S
So, basically, u seem to think there are some
specific rules one should follow when changing
a style from the "style center" or whatever.
This just is not the case, there is nothing to
learn, nothing to follow, no advice, nothing.
Just a bunch of styles. The sooner you get that
thru your obviously thick skull the sooner this
waste of time conversation can be over.
You artsy-fartsy pretentious people should
gtfo of my interwebs.
I spat in the face? Hardly. "Fuck them if they
can't take joke".
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
you're confused that you're upset??? wtf??? Your response conveys even further the latter. Anyway, the world works by rules from the monumental to the mundane and this does not escape it, so if can't understand something so simple, I'll no longer try to open your eyes to learn to get better. This has seriously turned for the worse and I'll leave it alone so you don't consider bringing harm to yourself, besides who wants to see artsy stuff on an art site. :/

You actually think I'm upset? You don't know finnish
people at all then
slow then: b e a u t y i s i n t h e e y e s
o f t h e b e h o l d e r. And that is
the only rule there is, anything, is just ur own
imagination. I should think that modern art is proof
enough of that. FFS "sometimes a cigar is just a
cigar". Deal with it, there is nothing deeper
here. Nothing to learn, except you might want to
actually do something "custom" before telling me
what custom is motherfucker.

My face and palm have become well acquainted throughout this entire little ordeal. As for you being upset, I don't have to ponder anything, your foul language and tone proves that well enough. I'm also very sorry that I've caused you to be so upset, I was only extending some guidance. It appears you understand or I assume you understand that "beauty is in the eye of the beholder," we customizers can show you how to make something beautiful so that those eyes can see that beauty. All you have to say is that you don't want to learn to create polished, clean and functional shots, i.e aesthetically pleasing and the offer for assistance and help will end.
So sad that you are so disgruntled about learning.
People trying to help you.
Pixelfuckers can help too!!! hehe.
That is all. /end permanently

Yeahyeah facepalm facepalm... still the same
mr ego it seems. Why can't you not get it through
your thick skull that I don't personally find
pixelfuckers screenshots to be anything but shit?
Why on earth would I want help from someone/someppl
I think sucks even worse then me? Riddle me that?
Then we can talk like civilized ppl

This wall is a little too minimalistic! But it's a nice wall! haha
I think, you only like to show me your excellent panel on bottom.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Haha
like an accident, as I was just fiddling around
with some settings. I got this look, added a
minimal wall and then I just "unstyled" the
bottompanel (well, its minimalism, no styling,
just a simple color will do
I had a typical pretentious minimal screenshot.
I just had to troll a little
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
What I really like is that whole monochrome design.
And I think, that is all not minimalistic!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
this screenshot is minimalistic, and I only
did with trolling in mind
Yeah I like monochrome design also!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No, it's not minimalistic! It's minimalistic for a shot by you! hehe
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I guess you're right, well, it's the most minimal shot I'll
ever do. "If thy feels like posting gay art thy should
do so at pixelfuckers"
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Sometimes it sounds like you're homophobic.
I think, that does not fit to you.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I am very homophobic, gay people should all be sent to
an island faaar faar away, then we can visit there say
100 years from and see how many gay people there are.
That's how natural it is to be gay. There should be a law
against it. Even talking about gay people makes my blood
boil.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
There are many unnaturally things in our modern
world but where is the real problem?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
So because there are many problems in our
world they thus get irrelevant?
Being gay is not a lifestyle/sexuality,
it's a disease.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
The percentage of gay is so low that it is
not just threatening to me.If it's a disease
it is not contagious.
Each one creates its own enemy. I think it's sad. :/
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Threatening? surely it's not. Gay people are as fragile
as a straw of grass, you tell they have ugly socks and
they start to cry.
Enemy? well, not directly no. There would be no problem
if we just shipped them all away from the general population
U think it's sad I found gays to be a disease? I found
it sad that gay ppl exist.

If we are all things (people too) that we do not like
would disappear there were no world out there.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hehe
doesn't work in practice tho.
Plus, if there where only gay ppl, it
wouldn't take long before there are no
ppl at all
tho, what good have we done to this planet
anyways?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That's the point, we have never done to this planet something good.
And people who are not multiply, are maybe even something good.
It is weekend again... have a nice one!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hahahahahaha, yeah I guess you are on to something
here, if gay ppl could multiply they would suck even
more
Yeah u2

I guess that must mean I suck. After all the nice words I gave you. =[

Nope, just everybody into minimalism, your not into minimalism,
your into styling.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, none of your scrots have been of the nasty pretentious minimal
kind. In fact, you are one of 3 deviants I follow
when u have new stuff out I'll check it out.
