More than what was necessary :) I wasn't expecting you to explain further. :) .. The thing is.. I am not seeking bevels. I don't mention "bevels" because I know what they are and they are not wanted. A rounded corner isn't a bevel. I think this is partially my fault due to a couple images in the question. They somewhat lead viewers down a "bevel" path - wasn't my intention. I know if I wanted a rounded cuboid I need to alter all sides to reflect that. I don't though.. frankly... I was overthinking things and mistakenly lead others to overthink in the same manner. Sorry.

And if right corners are concave, then the left corners should also be concave (unless a purposeful opposition is desired) Perhaps this is my issue and why I struggle with this.. hence the question. | |

Thanks for contributing, and the clear effort. :) I did post "standard gradients are okay" in the question :) I just didn't want to get into meshes, 3d shading etc. The problem with the edge gradient in I-R is that it makes the side appear rounded, not the corner. And if that side is rounded, so should the other sides be, meaning I'd need minimally gradients on the other 3 sides to indicate a drop off. I want hard edges, just round corners. I think D may address that best in this answer.
