Bullet Global variable

PowerXP-Theme queries a global variable to select color set. If the global variable is set to True, Windows Theme colors will be used.

 

 

AppFrame, set client area color

Choose color style for AppFrame's client area

 

Bullet Windows, set window background color

Choose color style for window background

 

Bullet Set PROP:Buffer = 0

To be able to draw sheets properly, Window{PROP:Buffer} must be 0. If you experience problems with sheet drawing, try to switch on this setting.

 

Bullet Windows XP Init code

Code entered here will be generated into every window's init-section, and execute if Windows XP-Theme is active.

 

Bullet Do not export

Manual override to avoid exporting methods from data-dll. You usually don't need this.

 

 

Droplist/Dropcombo settings

tpl_glo2_5

 

You can set PowerXP-Theme to alter the row height (LineHeight) on Droplists and Dropcombo controls. If you want PowerXP-Theme to set the same height when Windows Themes isn't active, check "Always set row height when there's no Theme".

 

 

Sheet settings

tpl_glo3

 

Sheets are usually drawn with a white background gradient (the color is controlled by the selected Windows XP-Theme).

If you do not want this background gradient, check the "Do not draw background" check box.

 

 

Listbox settings

tpl_glo4

 

When the user moves the mouse cursor over a header, it will be highlighted. You can switch off this behaviour by setting "Do not draw hovering" on.

PowerXP-Theme can alter the row height (LineHeight) on listboxes. If you want set the same height when Windows Themes isn't active, check "Always set row height when there's no Theme".
