Learn To Make Apps Beautiful Not Beastly

The art of software development is a moving target. Just a handful of years ago most Windows apps were flat slabs of gray with uninspiring color schemes drawn from a color palette which could be best described as “all the colors of a cement works”. Those that were not part of this mono-tonal subscribed to a more “burn your eyes out” range of ultra-yellows and a color clashing scheme which users could only view behind the safety of sunglasses. The theme was either gray bleakness or garish migraine.

Luckily things have moved on.

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.
