?.. Photoshop can make "rounded rectangles" and let you choose the pixel amount of the 'curve'. Corel's Draw [?? I think..] also does this. Just save-as the images as PNG's to support transparency. I'm pretty sure PaintShop Pro does this as well..anyone?

Paint shop does it but you have to save it as a png, like sbgFX suggested. If you save it as a jpeg or bmp, the background will be filled in with white, after you save it.
