We're doing big shifts to our UI and wanted to create a short wizard that introduces people to the new elements. A floating popup (maybe a drop shadow) that says "welcome to the new..." and then prev/next buttons that can direct the users to new elements all over the UI. We'd also want to only show this once for new users. This happens a lot of web pages, but I can't think of many desktop apps that do it. Are there any 3rd party components that can solve some of these requirements? If we have to do it ourselves, what would be the go to standard component? A panel? A frame?

Most components we use are packaged in an installer and they generally want us to completely un-install the components first. This also includes taking them out of Delphi. Do I have to do this for my XE3 where they are installed already? Or just use git to download the latest branch and rebuild/reinstall? I cloned the master branch however many years ago, and I was hoping I could just "Fast-forward" or "Merge", but I'm hesitant to do so since I'm very much not a git expert. Plus with the complexity of already having the components installed. Thanks again

Excuse my ignorance on this topic, but this install method is rare in my environment. In July 2019 I used git to download the Omnithread library source code. I followed the instructions to install into XE3. I would now like to 1) Download the latest master branch and update my XE3 and 2) Install the latest master branch into Delphi Sydney. I realize there's a way to download/install OTL from the GetIt program, but I want to keep my components all in the same folder if possible. Failing that I want full control over where my components are installed. What would be your recommended way of getting my 2 tasks done?

Oh nice. Those are both what we're looking for. Thanks all!

I've seen some nice controls on the web lately that allows a user to select, essentially 2 dates. They do this by opening a calendar component (usually plus a couple months), and then allowing the user to either click twice on each date, or click and drag. Google Analytics comes to mind as an example. A bit cleaner example is from a mobile communications company (example 2). Does anyone know of any Delphi analogs?

What are the general experiences updating to 1909 and using Delphi? I can't say that past experience has made me at all excited to update. And this blog (http://delphicodemonkey.blogspot.com/2020/03/delphi-seattle-becoming-almost-unusable.html) has got me really spooked. Can anyone offer any other experiences using Windows 10 1909? Specifically we do all of our development in XE3 and Seattle. Edit: Sorry I wanted this to go under Windows, but mistakenly put it into VCL. I couldn't delete my own thread.
