SXSkinComponents is a set of visual components. But it’s not a usual package of controls, it’s a new ideology of applications’ graphic appearance. Using SXSkinComponents you can easily create both types of skinnable interfaces:

  • An interface with buttons, checkboxes, edits and other controls, design of which is changed like Windows XP Themes.
  • A fully graphical interface with custom images instead of buttons and other controls.

Features:

  • 100% alpha channel support in components drawing.
  • Every skin is describen in a separete skin.ini file.
  • A skin file contains a set of skin styles: genearal and special ones.
  • A general skin style is a set of elements (images or geometrical figures).
  • JPEG, PNG-8 and PNG-24 (with 8-bit transparency) graphic file formats are supported.
  • These figures can be drawn as skin style elements: rectangles, rounded rectangles, circles, polygons and lines.
  • All figures can be drawn with a translucent border and a gradient fill.
  • Using a BoxTile element you can freely design buttons and other controls.
  • Optimized for processors with MMX instructions support.
  • Can be used in Delphi 6, Delphi 7, Delphi 2005, Delphi 2006, C++Builder 6 and C++Builder 2006.
