Is there a way to make fields or buttons round, ie. circular shaped, in Livecode?

I could be wrong, but I don't think so. You can certainly use a circular graphic (or a roundRect), and make it act just like a button in every way.

As for a field, that would be cool if anyone can make such a thing. The dontWrap would have to be "true" and such a thing would display text in a filled circle of chars.

Yep. Would be handy for a circular :D

Logoist and Art Text (both on the Mac App store) are probably good choices for designing round buttons and their variants (hilited). You can try the lite version of Art Text for free.
Best regards,
