Rodrigo: I just wanted to thank you for your hard work and the contribution of the VCL Styles Utils, like many people I was getting mediocre results with styles and many controls didn’t work or didn’t look right and several people on the Embarcadero forums said to try your fix and now all controls work with styles and they look right. Thanks again!

Hi Rodrigo,
In your post her https://theroadtodelphi.com/2011/12/16/exploring-delphi-xe2-vcl-styles-part-ii/ you are showing a custom TSynEdit control. Is there any way you coulds share the source code to get this custom SynEdit component? I’ve installed the standard SynEdit component and it does not support VCL Styling. Any help would be much appreciated. I’m trying to use Delphi VCL Styles for my open source Visual MASM project here https://github.com/ThomasJaeger/VisualMASM instead of the commercial skinning components AlphaSkins.
