Hello TECHIES,

I would like to know if there is any way to improve the buttons and
other components in graphics perspective.
I would like to add some skins to my form so that my form looks more
beautiful.

finally i would like to design my forms which would be similar to
amazing and beautiful website pages..

AFAIK in QT uses qml to improve the way it looks and the sample
applications provided are far good in some basic 2D animations......

I wonder if there is any method to improve the way my Lazarus forms
looks

Please give me some references to achieve this.

Thanq all.

http://wiki.freepascal.org/Theme_library (the page seems outdated
though, open the source code of themes unit for the latest info).
Every widgetset seems to implement this so it should work on all
(win32/64, gtk2, qt, etc.)

There is also BGRAControls:

and Custom Drawn Controls:

CodeTyphon contains Orca components which provide what you are looking
for. I haven't tested, but they should also install in regular
Lazarus.

You can use LclQt + stylesheets (which are documented in qt
documentation).
eg. yourapp -stylesheet=mystylesheet.txt
