Hi,

I guess the subject says it all: I would like to make a large, scalable version of the "gumdrops" we all know and love from the OS X window frames.

I have fiddled about some, but fail to acchieve the right tranclucent look.

Any takers? Downloads?

Will these do? Not quite accurate as they don't exhibit the curvature of the colours you see in the real thing, but as close as I could get in OmniGraffle itself:

You can download the graffle from here (http://homepage.mac.com/jtyzack/PublicFS/FileSharing51.html) if you want it.

Those look great!

They are not for me - they are for my wife, who is doing some work on writing manuals for a small startup software company, but I am sure they will please her.

Thank you!
