Hi

The Alpha Controls ListBoxes seem to skin very inconsistently, as the screenshots show… Is this by design? I’ve tried using the GlobalColor and GlobalFontColor in my form’s FormShow event to set the colors to make them consistent but the List doesn’t react…

It’s the white backgrounds that bother me – it seems the wrong choice for the selected skins.

I’m worried if I give my users the ability to skin the app they’ll report this as a bug. My current workaround is to use an LMD EI List and skin it manually, so I’m not badly affected by this, but I’d rather the skins were consistent…

Hello, Andy
I’m watching screenshots, but can’t understand a problem..
White color is defined in the skin by the ASkinEditor tool.
Color of elements in the custom skin may be changed to any other.

Hi

I’m still learning to use these things, please forgive my asking ‘obvious’ questions:

‘White color is defined in the skin by the ASkinEditor tool.’

Where? I can’t find in the Skin editor a section for List Box backgrounds.

‘Color of elements in the custom skin may be changed to any other.’
How? In the skin editor or at runtime?

Sorry for a long answer here.
The ‘EDIT’ skin section used for drawing of all edit fields, memos, listboxes, etc.. Try to change this section, plz.

Color in a skin section may be changed in the skin and in the run-time too. Write me which way do you need.
Colors may be changed in whole section or in any custom controls.

Hello
Here is a code for changing of color in the ‘EDIT’ section at run-time:

var
  gd: TsGeneralData;
  SectionIndex: integer;
begin
  SectionIndex := sSkinManager1.SkinCommonInfo.Sections[ssEdit]; // Receive index from array of indexes
  sSkinManager1.CommonSkinData.gd[SectionIndex].Props[0 {normal state}].Color := clYellow;
  sSkinManager1.RepaintForms; // Call it if controls should be refreshed immediately
end;

uses sStyleSimply, sMaskData;
