Question regarding different panel shapes

[bradws]

Hi,
Is there a way (in GIUObject, for example) a way of defining non-rectangular shapes for a GUIPanel (like a rectangle with a small section jutting out?).

Another question: is there a way of hit testing with mouseover where on the GUIPanel the mouse currently is? the reason is I'm wanting to emulate a menu where the buttons will change slightly when the mouse rolls over it.
Thanks again,
bws.
