Editor Status Bars for Delphi IDE

[Kryvich 165]

If you like my Forms Humanizer for Delphi IDE, I have something new for you and other colleagues. It's a new free plug-in for Delphi 10.2.3 IDE, which shows the status of opened files in the form of colored bars in the tabs above the editor:

It is interesting that as follows from the article "New in 10.3: IDE UI Improvements in the Main Window", an appearance of the file tabs in the new Delphi 10.3 will change significantly:

I could not find any of the words "modified", "disappear", "icons" in this context on this page, but there is a setting in the options to show or hide those icons.

At least in older IDEs.

I also have those icons off because it takes too much place, so I prefer your solution.

Do you offer it for older IDE versions too? Maybe with configurable colors? Publishing the source code?

@Attila Kovacs Fair remark. I made this conclusion from the article (see GIF above). In fact, I did not know that these icons can be turned off (Tools | Options | Editor options | Display | Show image on tabs). Looks even better, thank you for the tip!

In addition to 10.2.3 CE, I have XE2 and older versions here. I do not have access to Delphi XE3 - 10.2.2. So if you're interested, I can try to recompile the package for the Delphi XE2.

The plan for my future open-source and free projects is to move to 10.3 Community Edition when it will be available.

I'll wait, I'm on Berlin. Take your time, no rush.

@Attila Kovacs I updated the plugin for Delphi 10.3.

 

 

BTW There are no file icons on the tabs anymore. Although the checkbox "Show image on tabs" in the settings remained.

Looks good. I'm still on Berlin 😉
