Make a library backup, update then restore it in the updated version if you have a problem,

Only if you have and use a skin that has rounded corners. I can tell you the Modern Cards skins that come with MC do not.

The settings should carry over.  But if you find it necessary to restore an earlier version backup after your new MC34 install, be sure to check "[x ] Restore settings" (see attachment).

The attachment is an example of an (unpublished) custom skin popup with rounded corners (outline, buttons, text edit box, checkboxes) in MC34 .  Within MC the corners can look pretty good because the skinning engine respects the artwork's anti-aliasing transparency for png files.

Rounded outer corners for the MC window itself against the desktop are not quite as good because MC does not implement proper anti-aliasing transparency there.  But personally I still find them acceptable if conservatively designed.

MediaCenter had skins with Round Corners long before Windows 11 was released

But if you want every skin to have round corners swap that Windows PC for an M4 Mac-Mini - The Mini's OS (Sequoia) rounds the corners of every MC Skin.

Really wish Windows would do that as well. Never could perfectly replicate the rounded corners for the Modern Cards skins (and no, none of them have rounded corners either). =/

v34 isn't available yet. v33.0.72 is pretty stable and functions well.
