Re: Version 6.5

Hi there,

the new feature is very nice. Thank you. I like the Carbon Style very much, but i have a little problem:

I have a panel which always should have a white background color - how can i exclude a control from the style recoloring?

thank you for your help

Re: Version 6.5

Hello Grete,
There is currently no way of excluding certain controls from a particular style within MVD itself.
The easiest way is probably to:
1.  navigate to the 'styles' folder in MVD6.5
2.  copy the carbon style (carbon.vsf) and rename your copy (something like gretecarbon.vsf).
3.  change the background colour for the panel to whatever you want it to be and then save your changes.
4.  your new style should be available under the 'styles' menu option 
(See the attachment).
For Step 3 above, you need to use the Bitmap Style Designer.  It is a tool that can be downloaded as part of Delphi Community Edition (free). 
A prerequisite of this is, I believe, Windows10 (which I don't use unfortunately, otherwise I could do it for you). 
If you can't get access to the Bitmap Style Designer, maybe someone on the Forum could help out and change it for you.
Derek.

Re: Version 6.5

Just in case, I will add a link to articles that talk about the practical implementation of algorithms for changing the style of a running application

Re: Version 6.5

hello you all.

The styles compiler option is great but (example GLOW) prevents the user from defining additional or changing component colors.
i assume the color changing ability is blocked completely when using styles.

Since (example: hor/vert grid scrollbars) not all controls change their appearance according to the choosen style this leads to some
ugly side effects. Is there any way around it to alter the pre-defined colors where this glitches exist (hor/vert grid scrollbars and others) ?

Re: Version 6.5

Hi,

Using styles does override colors, fonts, borders ... .
But there is a possibility to disable overriding for components that support styles.

Unfortunately, some non-standard components do not support styles. In this case, TableGrid.
