Hi! I would be grateful for any advice on my problem and thank you in anticipation.

I would like to create a new style in my custom theme for Panels 3. It will be like rounded corners, but a little more sophisticated. So I will use the rounded corners style code as my starting point.

Does anyone know how I go about adding my style to the Panels 3 style menu? The menu is the one which lists:
No markup at all
No style
Rounded Corners
System Block

and I would like to add mine to it.

Anyone out there able to give me a steer in the right direction?

Many thanks

..I'd already got that far with my own style - but it doesn't appear on the ctools dialog variants->panel->contents; 3rd option down brings up the style dialog. Mine is not listed.

hook_ctools_plugin_directories() is mentioned in your link. Does this need to be implemented? If so, what are the argument(s) to the function and expected return value?

Many thanks

Here's a few things I fuddled with when tring to get it to work...
I believe that ctools has a cache of it's own... massive cache clearing in addition to clearing the theme registry.
It's gotta be in your theme.info file, it won't show up
Check the names 'this_that_this' vs 'this-that'... as I had to try several times adjusting until I got it right.
