Nevertheless, I can refrain from posting > these issues. Oh, very sorry then. Maybe a note that you'd been chatting with Sahil but still better to just add hime CC list rather than assigning it. Always best to allow the developer to make an assignment to themselves when they are actively working something up. But at this juncture, of dropping Win7/Win8.1 and pending EOL of Win10, it certainly allows some movement but we have to remain mindful of the underlaying VCL framework. For us to implement Win11 MS Fluent 2 norms (Win32 with WinUI3/XAML) is just not feasible to do with VCL cross platform--requires implementing/maintaining too much WinUI native code. Meaning simply "decorating" widgets to mimic Win11 theming becomes an endless maintenance chore. Better to accept that it is not feasible (too costly) and look to other implementations as Michael and Sahil have suggested. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
