Rounded Form Eclipse
Jeffrey Kraft

The Rounded forms can be achieved using the gdi32 library and the user32 library.  Thank or blame ChatGPT for the Module.  The global module that Rounds the form is also to be credited to ChatGPT. I called my Moon form CircularMoon form and the sun as CircularSun.  The sun on my main form is a subform that our of dumb luck is in the top middle section.  I went that route because it wasn't going to move in the demo. The code for moving my Moon across is based on the ideas presented in this series and your move size video.

I'm going to rewatch part 2 and 3 and see if I can really make this go 100%.  I'm assuming a simple timer event and having it update real time would somewhat automate the "redrawing/form opening and closing".

Weather Update.  Weather gods are now showing not so great Eclipse viewing weather in the main area of the Eclipse... bummer.

Mine ended with the image above.  I can now simulate viewing 365 days a year.  I put a setting button if needed to change the Top, Partial Begins, Totality, or Partial Ends settings because of different monitors.
