I have some sweet memories of rounded corners in HTML/CSS from my early days in Development. Rounded corners were nice, subtle, and pleases the eye but it was hard before CSS supported it.
The idea was to use Photoshop to round the corners and "slice" those elements and used them as background images in CSS. In Photoshop, one has to know the trick to "feather" (I hope I'm using the right term) the corners for a smoothly rounded corner, else you get pixelated ones.
This happens pretty often and is a monotonous boring task after a while for the team. My team and I created a 9-Splicer tool in Flash, wrapped in a Windows Program (forgotten the name of the paid tool). Now any front-end developer could use different styles of rounded corners from the varieties of rounded corner graphics that the designer creates in her spare time.
