My current project utilises web parts. I've got them working fine however
they look a bit, well, naff. I'm a developer as opposed to a web designer
but im sure there must be something I can do to freshen them up. I had a
look at "my MSN Space" via MSN Messenger which uses web parts and they look
so much cooler than mine. Ideally I would like my web parts to have rounded
corners on each title. Users would then be able to click & drag this web
part title to different zones (just like with msn web space). This at first
seems easy but now im not so sure. I cant for the life of me work out how
Microsoft have done it and would very much appreciate a few clues.
To summarise this is what I would like to achieve...

a and b are where I would like to include 2 graphics to round off the web
part. Then the user can drag drop the web part to a different zone.
The trouble is I cannot use a table which encapsulates the web part because
when the user drag drops the web part the table (and corner graphics) will
stay where they are as opposed to moving with the web part.
I have tried building the content of my web parts with nicely rounded
corners and placing in a web user control. However, this loses the desired
effect as users have to
drag the default square title of the web part (as opposed to my title
contained within the content) to move the web part.
Hope I have explained what im trying to do adequately.
Any advice would be most gratefully received!
