I'm not going to use this skin but whilst testing it I found some issues you might want to address:

1. In a DevExpress cxGrid, the selected row has white text on a white background.

2. With a TsBitBtn on a TsPanel, the buttons draw over the panel border. For other themes this happens if the buttons are in a DOWN state but for DeepPurple it happens to all buttons. This situation occurred for me because I'm using TsBitBtns on a panel to create a menu; it looks OK to have the selected button larger but having all the buttons draw over the border looks strange.

Can you show a screenshot please?

Hi Serge,

The updated theme fixes the grid selection.

The attached image shows the button issue. Definitions for the panel and button are included below. I suspect the issue is caused by the skin sections I'm using but this same configuration works for the other 11 skins in the project.

EDIT: I've attached a second screen shot that shows the same buttons with the WEB skin.

object pnlSetup: TsPanel

Left = 0

Top = 325

Width = 1008

Height = 76

Align = alTop

BevelOuter = bvNone

TabOrder = 2

Visible = False

SkinData.SkinSection = 'TOOLBAR'

object btnDatabase: TsBitBtn

Left = 360

Top = 0

Width = 60

Height = 76

Action = ActionSetupDatabase

Align = alLeft

Caption = 'Database'

DoubleBuffered = True

Layout = blGlyphTop

ParentDoubleBuffered = False

TabOrder = 4

TabStop = False

AnimatEvents = [aeMouseEnter, aeGlobalDef]

SkinData.SkinSection = 'TOOLBUTTON'

ImageIndex = 21

Images = sAlphaImageListLarge

end

end

Hi Serge,

The update doesn't affect the button size; the selection color seems to be a bit darker but I can't see any other change on the buttons.

Skin-engine can't affect to sizes of controls.

I have changed this skin for a better painting of buttons background when parent SkinSection is 'TOOLBAR'

Hi Serge,

As you say the buttons are not truly resized but that is the way it *appears*. You can perhaps see from the screen shots in my earlier post that a TsBitBtn drawn with the WEB skin does not block the border unless the button is in the down state whereas for DeepPurple all of the buttons cover the border. I won't be using this skin in my apps so I am happy to let this lie..

Hi Hamilton,

please try the attached file this should work for you.

Hi CheshireCat thanks for trying but the problem remains. I can see that the borders have become more narrow in the modified skin but the buttons still block cover the border, as shown in the screen shot attached.
