Round corner is not working in mdframed environment although I followed the example shown in the mdframed package. Below is my code

\documentclass[10pt]{article}

\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{amssymb}
\usepackage[usenames]{color} 
\usepackage[usenames]{xcolor}
\usepackage{mdframed} 
\usepackage{lipsum}

\begin{document}


\mdfsetup{%
   middlelinecolor=red,
   middlelinewidth=2pt,
   backgroundcolor=red!20,
   roundcorner=20pt}

   \begin{mdframed}
   \lipsum[3]
   \end{mdframed}

\end{document}

You have to pass framemethod=TikZ (or framemethod=pstricks if working with xelatex/latex...) option to \usepackage{mdframed} like 

\usepackage[framemethod=TikZ]{mdframed}

Without any options, the frame is set to default in which roundcorner is equal to 0pt.

Full code:

\documentclass[10pt]{article}

\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{amssymb}
%\usepackage[usenames]{color}
\usepackage[usenames]{xcolor}
\usepackage[framemethod=TikZ]{mdframed}
\usepackage{lipsum}

\begin{document}


\mdfsetup{%
   middlelinecolor=red,
   middlelinewidth=2pt,
   backgroundcolor=red!20,
   roundcorner=20pt}

   \begin{mdframed}
   \lipsum[3]
   \end{mdframed}

\end{document}

  • framemethod=pstricks does not seem to work with XeLaTeX, but framemethod=TikZ works great. – Rafal Nov 26 '14 at 11:04
  • If you read this, odds are that you really want: \begin{mdframed}[backgroundcolor=red,roundcorner=3pt]{ ...content... }\end{mdframed}. It sets the frame parameters only for the content and not globally. Anyways, good solution, thanks! – peterh Mar 25 '21 at 23:58
