Brand new Windows 11 theme
The new WXI skin (theme) in this release is based on Windows 11.
WXI theme comes with cash visualization effects and animations, optimized rendering engine to solve rendering performance and UI/UX flexibility issues. With this new rendering engine, we will be able to deliver new vector skins faster and help you publish more modern and elegant user interfaces.
Enhanced High DPI resolution support
The new version enables SVG icons by default in all supported UI controls.
If you prefer PNG icons and want to use them in v23.1+, disable the dxUseVectorIcons option in the initialization section of the main application unit :
Delphi
uses
Forms,
cxLookAndFeels,
// ...
begin
dxUseVectorIcons := True;
Application.Initialize;
Application.MainFormOnTaskbar := True;
Application.CreateForm(TMyForm, MyForm);
Application.Run;
end.In addition to the built-in icons displayed at runtime, we replaced many PNG icons with their SVG equivalents in the design-time editor. Note that this change mainly affects RAD Studio Alexandria 11 IDE as only its latest version supports high DPI environments.
"Light" style rendering
The new version enables the default "Light" style rendering mode (TdxVisualRefinements.LightBorders := True;).
The following UI controls now support "Light" style rendering:
- TdxListViewControl and TdxShellListView
- TcxPivotGrid 和 TcxDBPivotGrid
- TcxTreeList, TcxVirtualTreeList 和 TcxDBTreeList
- TcxDBVerticalGrid, TcxRTTIInspector, TcxVirtualVerticalGrid 和 TcxVerticalGrid
