Should I expect same VCL styles between c++ builder 11.3 and 12 ?

[CyberPeter 11]

I was counting on the fact that v12 would have the same VCL styles as v 11 ? 

I mean they can add styles, but remove them ??

 

This introduces all sorts of problems since I store the selected style in user settings, and if I need to use different styles in a new build I will have to deal with that.

 

In v11 I use:

 

 

but they are not available in v12 ?

 

v12 features:

 

 

instead, which are not the same styles.

For the moment solved by copying

 "C:\\Users\\Public\\Documents\\Embarcadero\\Studio\\22.0\\Styles\\Windows11_Modern_Dark.vsf"
"C:\\Users\\Public\\Documents\\Embarcadero\\Studio\\22.0\\Styles\\Windows11_Modern_Light.vsf"

to

 "C:\\Users\\Public\\Documents\\Embarcadero\\Studio\\23.0\\Styles\\Windows11_Modern_Dark.vsf"
"C:\\Users\\Public\\Documents\\Embarcadero\\Studio\\23.0\\Styles\\Windows11_Modern_Light.vsf"

but very curious whether I should report this as a bug, or if this is expected behavior ?

Yes, that is what I have had to do in the past as well.....no idea why prior styles disappear 

[CyberPeter 11]

Any idea if it's worth reporting this as a bug (when that service becomes available again (sigh)) ?

Lol.....yeah I was going to suggest that but realized it was not running as well while typing.

 

Yeah I do think its worth it.  Its just frustrating these things aren't consistent, maybe reporting it would help next time it happens.

 

I think I had the exact style you mentioned but no time to think about copying things across as had urgent release so just changed the styles at the time.

.. had urgent release so ..

Oh, I waited until my release was out of the way before I started messing with v 12.  Next release is still a while away.  I did not risk that.

 

No issues ?  A smooth release ?

Did you have compile and/or link issues going from v11 to v12 ?

 

I'm having some linker issues at the moment.  It looks like I have to recompile all libraries (32 bit, I assume 64 bit will be the same). 

I did not expect that.  I thought they had not upgraded clang etc. yet ?  Certainly not 32bit.

 

Oops, I realize I'm digressing.

 

[bdw_nz20 11]

Yeah the release in my case was a small app and it wasn't in v12 it was v11.

 

Only just trying v12 today which has been a whole day of finding constant issues.

 

I stopped when v12 decided to quit all on its own while trying to run CodeInsight.

 

In most cases with static libs I've always had to re-compile them all, in the end I changed those libraries to just add the code directly so gets compiled with the main project

Frustrating.

I'm all in currently.  Let's see if I can get passed the issues.
