Chapter 7: FireMonkey Styles
Styles are fundamental building blocks of FireMonkey controls. All FireMonkey controls can be colored, bordered, and animated, and most can glow when focused. There are default styles for each platform to provide a native look and feel for various devices, but you can customize them to suit your needs or add a creative flair to set your application apart. You can share styles, package them with your applications, and install them in the Delphi IDE. You can also build cross-platform applications without editing a single FireMonkey style – but where's the fun in that?
This chapter will discuss the role FireMonkey styles play in your applications, how to control and use them, how to modify them, and ways to share them. Due to this, we will cover the following topics:
- Understanding and using FireMonkey styles
- Customizing FireMonkey styles with the Style Designer
- Styling your applications with ease
