Another Window Dilemma

The answer to this is really form follows function, but ... I still must put it out there for conversation.

My loft window.  The lovely little window that will be a custom stained glass work of art just inches from my pillow.  Will it have the "eyebrow" arch design?  Or will it open?



The arch isn't hugely pronounced, but --




I really can't imagine not being able to open that window... even if my skylights do open...



There's a matching one on the opposite end - it may end up disguising my air conditioner though...



(Sorry, neither of those angles are great...)

So, the window shape is probably going to have to change to a rectangle from the arched.  Will that be so terrible?  It just hadn't occurred to me that that shape would prohibit it from opening.  Ahh the learning curve.
