If i understand what you mean i have just done it.
The best way is to set the panal the same "back colour" as the web site then tick the "border style" button and you can make it solid and change the colur ( all buttons are in the Style tab in the panel properties.
If your site has different colours as the background then you would create a gradient that when placed on the page cannot be seen ( the backdrop would have to be changed to whatever.png) and then again hit the border style button.
Hope i have understood your question and helped.

ok i just done it
its a lot of muckin about, however:
open the gradient lab,choose the neon chrome, select the rounded rectangle, then go to the colours tab as you look at it the top tick being 1 there are 4 tick change the top and bottom to black then change the 2 midlle 1's to white, if you then use the slider you can make the top and bottom lines (Orientantion should be vertical) the open a panel make the backcolour white and insert the gradient you just created in the back drop. to do the sides just change the orientation to horizontal and on both sides of the first panel open another panel and use the vertical backdrop.
Again i hope i have been clear (not as mud hehehehe) and of some help.

PS
To get the correct size check the pixel length, height while you edit the graident.
It dont look to bad as a clear box with a rounded boarder

ok this is my last attempt
i just went to paint (in windows xp) there they have the option to create a circle /rounded rectangle ect.
i created a circle saved it as a jpeg then imported it to Antenna opened a panel used the imported jpeg in backdrop and hey prestow we have a circle border.
I then put a text box over the circle put in a few words and when i previewed it there was the text with a circle border.
to make the circle in paint. As you look at the window on the left edge half way up there will be a shaded oval thats what you want to make the circle.
Again i hope to have helped and not confussed you more.

Hi,

I tried MS paint and created a jpg but the rounded circle came along with a white square background. I do you crop just the circle and save it ?

robert

[doxe]

yes mate i did crop it, however i had it on a white background so it never came to me that the outside of the circle would be white.
