Same behavior I see in system buttons of the file explorer.

As we can see in Windows Explorer, there is a delay before the first hint is displayed, but when a hint is showing it updates immediately if it encounters another control.

I think HeDiBo means that there should be a delay before the first hint is shown.

In Delphi there is the option Application.HintPause which is the delay before showing a hint (default to 500 milliseconds).

usually I use Edit.SkinData.CustomColor := true and Edit.SkinData.CustomFont := true. Set the Color and Font.Color properties. And when I want to go back, I set CustomColor and CustomFont back to false.

By default AlphaSkin does not skin standard controls.
You have to add the control classes you want to be skinned in the Third party control list available by right-clicking on the TsSkinManager control.

I did add my font into the CharImageList, but when I add a new icon into the font, I have to remove the font from the CharImageList and re-add it. Doing so removes all references to existing glyphs and I have to re-add all of them.

If there could be a way to update the font in the CharImageList just like internal skins it would be great.

If you ever succeed in doing the padding, could you add the possibility to center all tabs in the pagecontrol?

Ya, I saw it. It works great. Thanks!

Could it be possible to make the preview of glyphs work in the “Form title bar” and “Glyphs” sections?

Looks like the Color property has been changed for all controls.

are you using Dataset.DisableControls()?
if yes, check that you have the same amount of DisableControls than EnableControls.

Well, I meant the animation of the check mark being checked in the checkbox, but I can understand that this is totally another feature that would need a lot of work.

PS the click circle wave animation is quite nice.

You can close this or put it in your todo list for version 17.xx 😉

My 2 cent here, I think the mouse wheel should only work when the combobox’s list is dropped down, but not when the combobox’s list is closed even though it is Windows’s default behavior.
We had many many problems with customers changing values without noticing by scrolling focused comboboxes (focus doesn’t mean under mouse cursor).

Do you refer to the circle animation?

Adjusting the tab with to the text is the default behavior if the property TabWidth of the pagecontrol is set to 0.

I think I found the culprit if you can’t wait for a fix by AlphaSkins.

In the sButton.pas unit, in the function CaptionRect(), at line 400, you can read the line “Result.Left := ImageMargins.Left + 2 * FContentMargin + ImgW + ContentSpacing(Self) + ImageMargins.Right;”

If you remove the “2 * “, it seems to produce the correct result. It will keep 6px between the icon and the caption.
If you don’t even want that spacing, remove “ContentSpacing(Self) + “.

Please disregard my previous post. I had the wrong version of AlphaSkins.
I can reproduce your issue. I will let AlphaSkins staff respond.

Just to be sure, is this what you have?

I think you’ll have better control with a TsBitBtn

Personally, I don’t see the difference between this TacLayout and a simple flat TsPanel.

I had a feeling it was because of that.
Thank you for your answer.

There is no source code in there, only binaries.

Sorry to piggy back on your question, but I was wondering if you (@alphaskin) were using another program to update all the skins or you have to manually open all of them in the alphaskin editor?
Also, I would like to know if there’s a reason why the sources for the editor are not available?
