Why there is no property about Form TitleBar in Delphi 10.4 FMX multi-device application? (Windows 64bit application)
How to change the form TitleBar color?
I can not edit the custom or the default style for Form either.
Found a third-party site that shows some styles have colored TitleBar.
https://www.delphistyles.com/fmx/index.html
So, does anyone knows the mystery part about it?
In order to edit Title bar style the style editor that is built into Delphi IDE won't be enough. The built in style designer is mostly intended to quickly create custom styles for specific components.
What you want to use is standalone Bitmap Style Designer that you launch from Tools-> Bitmap Stlye Designer

I am building a visual studio application and have designed it using visual studio windows form. I am using the siticone library for the GUI but when i lay widgets out on the designer and then run the application all the widgets move. The buttons do not but the labs on them do. Also i have added a user control page that moves aswell. Please Help.
Cheers.enter image description here
Make sure that your Winform Font style and size match with all child controls including all Siticone controls.
Verify that you have anchored your controls accordingly on your form or panel control.
What is the difference between a GTK theme and a window decoration theme? I am using Compiz and Unity and I do not understand the difference between these two theme types.
Window decorations are handled by the window manager and typically include the window title bar, window title bar buttons and window borders -- and those are the only things a window manager theme can change.
A GTK+ theme on the other hand can change how things look inside the window of a GTK+ application: buttons, entries, labels and all other widgets get their visual style from the GTK theme.
This separation may sound arbitrary and useless... and in a way it is. It only exists because of the way X works: the X server draws the decorations for all windows and clients only draw the window contents. This may be simpler or at least different in the glorious future when X is replaced by Wayland (or Mir if that's the way you lean).
Does anyone have or can create a sample for a MFC MDI tabbed App custom theme using CMFCVisualManager ?
I may even pay for it..
Thanks.
You already examples in the MFC source, e.g. CMFCVisualManagerVS2005, CMFCVisualManagerOfficeXP. Just inherit from one of those and change the bits you want.
Can anyone tell me how I can change the color of my checkmark for a checkbox in Silverlight for Windows Phone 7 development?
I see some references on the web for changing a template but that is more for WPF or SilverLight apps, not WP7.
Right now I have a white background on my stackpanel and my background for my checkboxes are black. It would be sweet to make the checkmark white.
Any ideas?
UPDATE:
I should mention that I'm creating these checkboxes in the code behind (via a loop), and I'm using VS 2010 for my phone app development.
The Answer:
Thanks to Mick who lead me down the right path. I had to fiddle with it a little but I used MS Blend to create my own style and then I copied the XAML from there and put that style XAML in the App.xaml in between the tags.
Then I applied it in my code behind like this:
chk.Style = (Style)Application.Current.Resources["CheckBoxStyle1"];
You can access this by retemplating the control in Blend.
Target the check box.
Right click
Edit Template
Edit a Copy
Drill down to the CheckMark path
Change it's colour
Previously I used to piddle around with VB6 to develop a couple of personal projects. Following my upgrade to Windows 7, I've decided to piddle about with vb.net Express Edition 2010.
If I wanted my VB6 application to blend in with the visual style of Windows, I would use the code and techniques described here. In short, I would use a Manifest file and a couple of calls within the application and most of the elements would look similar to the XP theme applied. If it was run on 2000, 95 or 98 then it would look like a standard Windows app. All was good.
Now I've moved onto vb.net, I've written a simple "Hello, world" application but I have absolutely no idea on how to make it look like the Windows 7 theme (eg. the font matches the system font and the widgets are styled correctly).
Just changing the font is a hack and will look out of place on machines that are set-up differently or run a different version of Windows where the default font is different.
How do I ensure my application matches the applied Windows theme irrespective of the version of Windows?
A lot of this is automatic if you create a Windows Forms app. They will (mostly) use the standard native Windows controls which draw themselves with the theme colors. But there are exceptions:
the Form item template uses a default Font named Microsoft Sans Serif. You'll have to change it to Segoe UI to match the Vista/Win7 default. This is only necessary for the Form class, all controls you put on it will automatically inherit that font. On an XP machine, the Windows font mapper will notice that the font is missing and automatically fall back to MSS.
the MenuStrip class uses custom rendering to draw the menu items. It tries to match the Windows style when you change the RenderMode property to System but the way it draws doesn't match the Win7 style. Right-click the toolbox, Choose Items and select MainMenu. That's a legacy version that does use Windows to draw menus so it produces the proper theme appearance.
A very similar problem for ToolStrip. It's legacy version is ToolBar. This is a hard one to swallow, it doesn't use a rebar which make the tool bar look flat and ugly.
There are similar problems in WPF but with the added problem that WPF doesn't use any of the standard Windows controls. And gets it wrong in subtle places.
