A Delphi-compatible software, this package offers open source, customizable visual components with alpha-channel support, translucent controls, MMX-optimization, design event effects, and JPEG and PNG image support.
The components included in the package come with a range of features to enhance your user interface. With full alpha-channel support, you can make controls translucent, giving your interface a modern look. The package also includes MMX optimization for faster rendering, so your interface will be both powerful and fast.
With changing effects on events, such as mouse over, mouse out, focus, and unfocus, your interface will be more dynamic and responsive. You can also take advantage of JPEG and PNG support for more versatile graphics.
The package also includes soft drawing of geometric figures such as rectangles, round rectangles, circles, lines, and polygons. You can draw these figures filled with solid colors, vertical gradients, or horizontal gradients. The included graphic image filters give you even more control over the appearance of your interface elements, including options like lightening, darkening, alpha adjusting, and color overlays.
Overall, the open source skinnable visual components package for Delphi and C++Builder provides a robust selection of options for customizing your user interface, making it an excellent choice for software developers looking to create professional, unique interfaces.
