Magick Corners is a Rails plugin for adding Scalable Vector Graphics  
as backgrounds to css-elements without a hassle. It can scale and  
stretch them to size, and also generate them for simple cases like a  
div with rounded corners.

After installing the plugin you can apply rounded corners to any  
dom-object (only divs are officially supported) using css-selectors,  
like:  
mcorners = new MagickCorners();  
mcorners.add(‘div.logi\_body’);

And also display any SVG image as the background of divs of any size  
with:  
mcorners.add(‘div.add\_tag’, {‘scaled\_image’ : ‘add\_tag.svg’});

Images are scaled/folded to suit. See the full Magick Corners docs for  
a code example and detailed installation instructions:
