There is an imagelist replacement that you can use which allows you to
use standard toolbuttons, I've been using these components for a while
and they seem to work fairly well.

I don't think you can use png's in an image list though. An image list makes
it much easier to freshen your look (just replace the images) or change the
image size. Glyfx supply bmp and png though.

I'd avoid using BMPs for images on buttons and use PNGs instead. You
wont be able to use the standard TBitBtn or TSpeedButton however. You
could try
http://www.thany.org/article/32/PngComponents
which are free buttons that support PNGs is you don't already have a
set
(and are small of wallet).

Step 1: Get high quality bitmaps for your buttons etc. Don't use
old or nasty images.
Step 2: Big buttons with big images AND text. Le the users remove
the text once they are experienced.
Step 3: Profit

Hey guys,
Just about to update one of our main apps and thinking about just
rebuilding it from the ground up, especially the gui side of it. The
original one wasn't to bad, but looking at other programs there is
some
very nice looking applications out there. Now I have the TMS
component
set and there are some very nice graphical components in there - but
I
don't want the program to be overwhelming (picture someone that
finds
the transitions in a slide show app for the first time!) but also
don't
want it to look like something from windows 3.1
End of the day it comes down to the usability for the user and
making
everything as easy and logical for them to use, but also want it to
look
appealing.
So what steps, guidelines, approach do you take when designing an
application.
:-)
Cheers
Nick
