Is Google considered a verb nowadays?
You need to define your own XPM pixmap which is rounded to however you want;
use inkscape or The Gimp to produce such a file. Then you'll need to define
a Colorset to be applied to the FvwmButtons instance containing this clock,
such as:
Colorset 12 Shape some_pixmap.xpm
Then you apply that as a style to your FvwmButtons:
*SomeFvwmButtonsInstance: Colorset 12
Read the FvwmTheme man page for more information.
