VCL Styles Utils...

[Mark- 31]

Hello,

 

Anyone using it with success? (https://github.com/RRUZ/vcl-styles-utils)

 

Or have another solution to style common dialogs?

Add 

Vcl.Styles.Hooks

in the project uses list.

Thanks for the response.

I posted because the code has at least one compiling error and does not seem to be supported any longer.

Do I want to invest time in it if there is another, possibly, better solution.

Delphi has improved its styles support over the years, but there are still cases where VCL Style Utils helps.
For example system dialogs and old component packages lacking VCL styles support.
It does that by using DDetours library hooking into some WinAPI drawing related functions.

Still there are places where not all is OK, for example the Open File dialog has some artifacts, especially on newer OS.

If your code does not compile, then post the error here.
We've been using VCL Styles Utils for ages, currently under Delphi 12.3

It is the code from the current release on github that fails.

For now, I will keep looking about.

Is there a resource that lists exactly what VCL Style Utils improves in 12.3?  It sounds like a good idea to use it, but I don't know what it does exactly for each version without tearing through the code.
