Well, it's doing that already by using the Label & 2xBevel isn't it?? That's my point I was trying to make before. Custom components should be allowed, that are _only_ used in the IDE -- NOT in normal applications that must adhere to system theme/look. IDE's are normally exceptions to normal applications because it is only used by a small target audience -- developers. Plus, IDE's need to convey a lot more settings and functions, which normal applications don't have to. You can have a look. Many IDE's use custom components that are only available in the IDE and not normally used in general applications. Delphi 2007 * it's new component palette component with search/filter feature * customized Virtual Treeview for many lists and trees Eclipse * non-standard tab control etc...
