Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Getting Started:
New and Revised Features

> ## Rectangles

> In Release 10.0B, rectangle widgets appear with Windows classic-style look (3D shadow with right-angled corners) whether your application runs in Windows XP or non-XP.

> In Release 10.1A, you are given the following options for each rectangle in your application:

> - Keep the Windows-classic style look regardless of whether the environment is XP or non-XP. (This is the same as the Release 10.0B behavior and requires no code changes.)

> - Specify the XP-style look (rounded corners, non-3D) regardless of whether the environment is XP or non-XP. (This requires that you specify the new `ROUNDED` attribute on the `DEFINE RECTANGLE` statement for each rectangle you want to give this look to.)

> - Specify the XP-style look when running your application in Windows XP and the Windows classic-style look when running on non-XP. That is, automatically adjust the appearance of the rectangle based on the current display environment. (This requires that you specify the new `GROUP-BOX` attribute on the `DEFINE RECTANGLE` statement for each rectangle you want to give this look to.)

> You can alternately specify the `ROUNDED` and `GROUP-BOX` attributes in the AppBuilder via each rectangle’s property sheet. For more information on these two new options, see OpenEdge Development: Progress 4GL Reference .
