Re: ANN: ThemeEngine 5.12 just released

Hello Margo,

It would be useful if these kinds of announcements indicated a) Delphi compiler version compatibility and b) .NET or Win32 (or both) support

Greetings,

We're happy to announce that ThemeEngine version 5.12 just released.

ThemeEngine is a library of components which allows to change visual
appearance  and behavior of your application with use of the powerful
set of tools including visual components, convenient designers,
easy-to-use non-visual components, the optimized graphic algorithms
and a set of ready themes. ThemeEngine can add themes to forms, to the
menu and to the elements of the management. 150+ stable easy to use
components and 1000+ free skins

+ Complete support of themes (skins) for MS Windows XP. The necessary
theme is easily chosen among the thousand ones available on the
Internet (www.themexp.org). ThemeEngine can save these themes in the
compiled application.

+ 150+ stable and easy to use components

+ 1000+ free themes (skins)

+ Includes converter from msstyle file format to native ThemeEngine's
theme (*.theme file)

are delivered with the product and can be used in the application
without any restrictions.

Flat

+ Powerful shell components and themed standard dialogs includes
OpenFileDialog,  SaveFileDialog, FontDialog, ColorDialog and much more

+ The opportunity of the generation of the modified themes both in the
editing mode and in  the performance mode, by changing the brightness
and the contrast of the ready themes.

+ The changing of the appearance of the application both in the
performance mode and in the designing mode.

+ The complete support of standard appearance. It is possible to
disconnect themes at any time and to get the interface of a standard
kind. Besides if the applications with the switched-off themes are
started in Windows XP the appearance won't differ from the standard
one because ThemeEngine is able to use uxtheme.dll.

distribute one exe-file with a number of themes.

help of ThemeEditor.

so that you can receive a very beautiful and interesting interface.

ThemeAPI (uxtheme.dll) easily allows to add ThemeEngine support to
your own components or the components of other developers.

+ ThemeEngine includes an easy-to-use non-visual component which can
automatically adjust the TColor properties of any components,
depending on the loaded theme. In this way you can easily adapt any
components to the new interface.

combinations that can be used both with ThemeEngine components and in
your own development.
