 # Apply rounded corners in desktop apps for Windows 11
 
-Rounded corners are the most immediately noticeable feature of [Windows 11 Geometry](../../../design/signature-experiences/geometry.md). On Windows 11, the system automatically rounds top-level window corners for all inbox apps, including all UWP apps, and most other apps. However, some Win32 apps might not be rounded. This topic describes how to round your Win32 app's main window corners if the system does not round them automatically.
