What is the corner radius of the windows in Mac OS X? I kind of like to have stuff right on the dot and it'll bug me until I find out.

From a hand-made measurement, the corner radius seems to be 7px. Plus 1 px, if you include the left drop shadow:

Nowadays it seems to be more like 5px.

The black around the window (I used a Finder.app window for that, to ensure that I have a native one) is the rim shadow from Mojave's dark mode which makes for a pretty good guideline for the orange border I placed.

I experimented with 4px and 6px, but 5px seems to hit the mark best.

  • Hi @PieBie, just tried it out manually by trying to put a rounded rectangle around some windows. 4px radius worked best for all the windows I tried.

    Could you maybe add a screenshot of that, like Yisela did?

    @PieBie done, also changed my response to 5px as this seems to be closer to reality.
