Features

• Custom border radius and clip paddings for windows
• Blocklist for applications that draw their own window decorations
• Custom shadow for windows with rounded corners
• Option to skip libadwaita / libhandy application
• Superelliptical shape for rounded corners, thanks to @YuraIz
• A simple reset preferences dialog
