FMX Platform Frame design

[ertank 27]

Hello,

 

When I work on forms I have Style selection on screen.

 

When I work on Frames, I do not see that Style selection and it always sticks to Windows Style even if my target is selected as Android.

 

This makes it difficult to position some screen components.

 

Is this a known problem or a feature of frames?

Can I have platform specific design in a way with frames?

 

Thanks & regards,

Ertan

This is by design and not a specific problem of frames.

So you cannot have platform specific design with frames.

But maybe the approach suggested by Ray Konopka may work for you. He had given a session at Coderage 2018 called "Mobile View Management" in which he proposes an alternative to using frames.

Thank you for clarifying situation about frames and pointing out an alternative solution.

 

Alternative solution seemingly easy to implement. Unfortunately, I cannot switch my entire app into this now.
