What is the shape of chromatophore?

It is actually incorrect to refer to a chromophore as having one shape. There are 4 different shapes of chromatophores, each shape depending on the concentration of the coloured pigment present within the chromatophore itself. The shapes are referred to as: Punctate Puncto-stellate Stellate Reticulo-stellate Reticulate Punctate describes a chromatophore which is roughly circular in shape and represents the fully concentrated state of a chromatophore, thus having its coloured pigment concnetrated. on the other hand, reticulate appears more or less as a network, this showing the most dispersed condition of the pigmented material within the chromatophore. stellate shows the middle condition between the two extremes, as do puncto-stellate and reticulo-stellate.

Is the dispersal of the pigment in all of the chromatophores?

No, the dispersal of pigment occurs in specific chromatophore cells containing pigment granules called melanosomes. Each type of chromatophore (melanophores, xanthophores, and erythrophores) controls different colors and respond to various stimuli. This allows for intricate color changes and camouflage in animals.
