Style not automatically applied in designtime in a certain scenario

[havrlisan 25]

Hi all. When you open up an FMX form or a frame, its controls will have their style applied if the style is loaded, eg. you have the data module opened which contains the TStyleBook that contains the styles.

There are two possible scenarios with loading styles:

1. load the styles first, then open the form/frame, or
2. open the form/frame, and then load the styles.

 

The second scenario doesn't apply to all controls though. It applies to all the standard FMX controls such as TLabel, TEdit, TPanel, etc., but not to custom controls. A good example is the recently added TSkLabel: style will not get applied until you reopen the frame or reload the form designer (by viewing it as text, then changing back the view to form). Has anyone successfully solved this problem?
