I have a application with multiple stylebooks containing styles from delphistyles.com. I want to add a trackbar to allow the user to change the transparency of the form at runtime like you can do in VCL with alphablend.
Their FireMonkey Style Packs provide custom themes for Windows, Mac, iOS and Android, plus Linux (via their FMX for Linux support). They also include style templates for the Bitmap Style Designer with multi-resolution graphics. Below are screenshots of some of their great new styles.

Similar to Windows themes, VCL styles make it easy to radically change the appearance of your VCL applications, giving your application that extra level of polish and professionalism. Thanks to the Per Control VCL Styles introduced in 10.4, a single form can take advantage of multiple styles giving you maximum customization and control. RAD Studio, Delphi, and C++Builder ship with a selection of VCL styles, with additional premium styles available in GetIt, or from DelphiStyles.
We collected most of popular controls, which has a support of VCL Styles.
All products was tested with our styles and default styles.
We hope that this information will be very helpful in your choise...
In this webinar replay join Alexey Sharagin, the creative genius behind DelphiStyles, to learn everything you ever wanted to know about working with VCL styles, including how to customize and make your own.
Go to Tools > Options > User Interface > IDE Style to access the IDE Style settings window and select one of the options from the Editor Color SpeedSetting and the Object Inspector SpeedSetting drop-down lists. You can also use the Editor option from the dropdown menu available in the top bar, next to the layout combo box, to change the Editor Color SpeedSetting.
The Custom theme lets you choose a VCL Style from a drop-down list, having numerous options at your disposal to customize the IDE however you want it to look like. You can also use the dropdown menu available in the top bar, next to the layout combo box, to change back to Light or Dark themes. The current Custom theme will be marked with (custom) next to the selected style, to let you know the style you chose.
RAD Studio allows you to choose a custom VCL style form a drop-down list to customize the IDE. You can also select one of the options from the Editor SpeedSetting and the Object Inspector SpeedSetting drop-down lists.
FMX Styles is the name of a set of ready-made styling templates for RAD Studio XE5 software and the FireMonkey framework created by Delphistyles. These styles allow you to change the look of the software and continue to build user interfaces with your desired style. RAD Studio XE5 software is a powerful and popular package for designing and developing mobile and desktop user interfaces provided by Embarcadero.
The FMX Styles suite contains modern Windows styles and Ubuntu Linux distributions that can be applied to various platforms such as Windows, Mac, Android, iOS, and Linux. This set also includes FM style templates for Bitmap Style Designer, each of which has specific features in graphic resolution and object parameters.
Leveraging the power of the latest hardware with native CPU performance and GPU powered visuals across devices - benefit from a high-performance responsive experience, no matter how complex and amazing the visuals are. Furthermore, FireMonkey connects to popular databases, web and cloud services, internet protocols and mobile devices, providing great client and server flexibility.
By applying the visually stunning FireMonkey and VCL styles with the TStyleBook component's collection of styles, you can create amazing-looking forms for your users. Here are some FMX Style examples from a blog by Muminjon:
Animations are complex. They can be started automatically or manually, with or without a delay, plus they can stop, start and go in reverse. FireMonkey has a range of animation subclasses that you can use for interpolations from a start value to an end value, interpolating through a series of values, as well as stepping through a list without interpolation.
With regards to image effects, the FireMonkey built-in ImageFX engine provides over 50 GPU-powered effects. These effects are nonvisual components that can be found in the Effects category on the Tool Palette. All the provided effects can be simply enabled or disabled by setting the Enabled flag from the Form Designer, or programmatically.
FireMonkey includes over twenty image transition effects, in which source pixels are progressively transformed into a target bitmap image, from simple fades to fancy banded swirls. The progress of the transformation is deterministic and can be set to an arbitrary percentage. This percentage can be animated to transition over time.
Because a VCL Style is simply a particular kind of binary file, we can allow our users to load their preferred styles at runtime. We could even provide new styles by publishing them on a website or sending them by e-mail to our customers.
The TStyleManager.StyleNames property contains names of all the available styles. In the FormCreate event handler, we have to load the already linked styles present in the executable into the listbox to let the user choose one of them. So, create a new procedure called StylesListRefresh with the following code and call it from the FormCreate event handler:
The Button2Click event handler should allow the user to select a style from the disk. So, we have to create a folder named styles at the level of our executable and copy a .vsf file from the default style directory, which, in RAD Studio 10.1 Berlin, is C:\Program Files (x86)\Embarcadero\Studio\18.0\Redist\styles\vcl\.
After copying, write the following code under the Button2Click event handler. This code allows the user to choose a style file directly from the disk. Then, you can select one of the loaded styles from the listbox and click on Button1 to apply it to application:
Just to have an idea of how the different controls appear with the selected style, drag and drop some controls on the right-hand side of the form. The following image shows my application with some styles loaded, some at design time and some from the disk.
Other things to consider are third-party controls. If your application uses third-party controls, take care with their style support (some third-party controls are not be style aware). If your external components do not support styles, you will end up with some styled controls (the original included in Delphi) and some not styled (your external third-party controls)!
VCL styles are a major new entry in the latest versions of Delphi. They have been introduced in Delphi XE2 and are still one of the less-known features for the good old Delphi developers. However, as usual, some businessmen say looks matter, so the look and feel of your application could be one of the reasons to choose your product over one from a competitor. Consider that with a few mouse clicks you can apply many different styles to your application to change the look and feel of your applications. So why not give it a try?
VCL styles can be used to revamp an old application or to create a new one with a nonstandard GUI. VCL styles are a completely different beast to FireMonkey styles. They are both styles but with completely different approaches and behavior.
To get started with VCL styles, we'll use a new application. Let's create a new VCL application and drag-and-drop some components onto the main form (for example, two TButton components, one TListBox component, one TComboBox component, and a couple of TCheckBox components).
Navigate to Project | Options. In the resultant dialog, go to Application | Appearance and select all the styles that we want to include in our application.
After selecting all the required styles from the list, we've to select one in the combobox at the bottom of the screen. This style will be the default style for our form and will be loaded as soon as the application starts. You can delay this choice and make it at runtime using code if you prefer.
Selecting one or more styles by navigating to Project | Options | Application | Appearance can cause the Delphi linker to link the style resource to your executable. It is possible to link many styles to your executable, but you can use only one style at time. So, how does Delphi know which style you want to use when there are more than one styles? If we check the Project file (the file with the .dpr extension) by navigating to Project | View Source, you can see where and how this little magic happens.
Moreover, it is possible to create your own styles or modify the existing ones by using the Bitmap Style Designer available at Tools | Bitmap Style Designer menu. The Bitmap Style Designer also provides test applications to test VCL styles.
VCL styles are a powerful way to change the appearance of your application, but using them only as design-time tools is way too limited. One of the main features of a VCL style is the ability to change the style while an application is running.
