The champion of unobtrusive canvas, Christian Effenberger, has come out with a new microformat script that enables you to add bevels to your images (and also shading, shining and glowing).

Why would you want to do this via canvas?

• Fast and easy to implement. Just add to the image and your good to go
• Don’t need to spend time in an image editor creating images with corners
• Works really well with forum avatars. Doesn’t require additional server work
• It’s dead easy to change the attributes of the corners
• Free of charge use on non-commercial and private web sites.
