Fair enough.... Design without any perceived limitations. ;-) > >> * Can the Reader/Writer support TFPColor > > No, because records cannot be published.

A quick test revealed that streaming to LFM will look like this: object AMyComponent: TMyComponent Left = 0 Height = 22 Top = 0 Width = 126 Caption = 'AMyComponent' Color = clSkyBlue ParentColor = False TabOrder = 5 FPColor.Red = 42662 FPColor.Green = 51914 FPColor.Blue = 61680 FPColor.Alpha = 65535 end Obviously removing Color property (of type TColor) from published section in final design. Thanks Michael for your quick response.
