fpGUI seems very promising to be the real independent UI library for Lazarus,
since it uses X11 (on Un*x) dan native API (on windows). No external widgetset
dependency-hell for Lazarus, e.g. GTK 1 or 2, Qt, etc. I recommend fpGUI becomes
the default widgetset used by Lazarus IDE itself, next time when fpGUI is ready
and stable.
I think it'd be nice if fpGUI also provides some different UI styles. I suggest
at least 3 common styles to be provided (see attached image). These styles are:
1. Thick (default) style, uses 2 pixel depth 3D effect.
2. Thin style, uses 1 pixel depth 3D effect.
3. Flat style, uses 1 pixel border without 3D effect.
The three styles above is just the way it draws its border. When the drawing
involves color and (fast) gradient effect, those will be more prettier. ;)
Personally, I love the flat style. :)
Any comments?
