Cosmetically I'd like all four corners of all OSX windows to be squared.

This proposed half-solution failed on Mountain Lion 10.8.2.

I may have seen a mod that was possible at MacThemes forum; alas I fail to recover any such thread.

How can I get corners on windows in Mountain Lion OSX 10.8.2 to be square instead of rounded?

    I would recommend posting your solution as an answer to your own question here. This may help future users, and would allow you to mark this question as answered. It might be best to summarize when was said in the link, in case it breaks/moves in the future. – bassplayer7 Feb 7 '13 at 1:35
  • Of course, one reason of note people might consider before changing the appearance is that a rounded corner is a clear signal of a window border (as opposed to the edge possible being hidden beyond the monitor's edges or disguised among other windows). – kal-al Feb 7 '13 at 3:37

I found a thread that describes how to accomplish the question asked.

To fix this I installed this artfile hack:

This is just a simple artfile hack that removes rounded corners on windows, the fullscreen button, and replaces the standard traffic lights with the stiijo ones (that fade almost completely on background windows)

I made it because I found it incredibly annoying to look at rounded corners when using my tiled window manager xnomad.

    Answers on Ask Different need to be more than just a link. It's okay to include a link, but please summarize or excerpt it in the answer. The idea is to make the answer stand alone. – Daniel♦ Feb 8 '13 at 12:26
