Hi all!
I have one simple question(i think so  ):
Is it possible to make own skin for components in Lazarus?
I was looking for some tools but i found only AlphaControls components
for Delphi. I downloaded Skin-builder 5.0 and DotNetSkin SkinBuilder
but both programs seem to be only shareware or i dont know how to use
it...

I need help :/

If you are talking about standard components, like TButton, etc, it's
impossible, because the native look is used. You can change the look
of the application by changing the look of all applications in the
Configurations Panel in Windows, or similar in other Platforms.

An alternative solution is instead of using the native toolkits, you
can use the fpgui toolkit or the qt toolkit, and use it's hability to
have skins.

Or you can write your own set of controls and make them skinable.

In Delphi it was pretty easy to use skinned form and now I am trying
to do the same in Lazarus,but I can't move the Form.

Code: [Select]procedure TAbout.Image1MouseDown(Sender: TObject;
Button: TMouseButton;
  Shift: TShiftState; X, Y: Integer);
begin
  ReleaseCapture;
  If Shift = [ssLeft] Then Perform(WM_SysCommand, $F012, 0);
end;

I think it deals with custom draw controls and handling WM_PAINT
messages.
