Hello,

Please don't worry about it. I appreciate the help. I went through my app
to identify all the redundant usage of bitmaps. Some were being used in
LMDShapeButtons as glyphs and some are used in TImage components. One of
the bitmaps was used up to 8 times within the app. I put the 12 most
repeated bitmaps in a TLMDBitmapList and then either loaded them to the
images at runtime by referring to the bitmaplist or else linked the
LMDShapeButton components to the bitmaplist at designtime. I absolutely
increased the app speed and increased the app available resources by about
2%. Are you saying this result was probably all due to some built in
efficiency of the LMDShapeButtons linking to the TLMDBitmapList rather than
runtime loading of the TImage components?

For what it's worth I only have 1 custom cursor loaded in the app.

Regards
Sam
