Warning 🚨

This release introduces changes that break the compatibility of projects in this version with older versions. The upgrade to 1.19.0.0 is irreversible. Therefore, before opening your old projects, it is NECESSARY to make a backup copy in case you need to temporarily revert to previous versions.

• All resource names used in the form components (xfm file) are automatically converted to a new format using ":" as the separator of the theme name.

• Automatically, new theme entities are generated in the "Project" -> "FGX Assets Manager" resources based on the availability of themes in your application. Determining whether a folder is a theme is performed based on the presence of the word "Theme" in the folder name. If you do not use the word "Theme" in the names of the theme folders, then you need to convert such a folder manually through the context menu of the resource designer tree.

• All programmatic access to resources via the Assets.Consts file must be manually reviewed and updated step by step in the next section.

Usage Assets.Consts

(1) The fields of individual resource types have been renamed for a uniform approach using numerals:

• R.Fonts -> R.Font

• R.Images -> R.Image

• R.LottieAnimations -> R.LottieAnimation

• R.Files -> R.&File.

If you use programmatic access to these resources, rename them according to the scheme above.

(2) The logic of using R.Theme has been changed. Now it contains not the resources of the current theme, but all the themes of the application, with the ability to access the resources of each theme. If you use R.Theme in the project, you need to replace it with R.CurrentTheme.

• Migration guide.

New ✨

Application-level theme support

In this release, the work with themes in the application has been completely updated, opening up new possibilities for customizing the appearance of your application:

• Universal theme assignment/switching for the entire application (Without having to specify the theme at the form level);

• Easy switching of the dark theme;

• Full control of the theme application at the component level;

• and much more.

The full guide about themes - Guide.

Form designer

Switching Light / Dark themes

Now you can see how your app looks in light and dark themes. To do this, you need:

1. Create light and dark themes in the assets designer

2. Specify them in the project settings Project -> FGX Options... -> Application -> Themes

3. Switch the theme through the new buttons on the toolbar of the form designer.

Please note that if the theme is redefined at the form level, then this switching functionality will not work.

Component selection

Added a new display mode for the name and size of the component when the component is highlighted on the form designer. If you do not want this information to be displayed, you can disable this mode in the library settings Tools -> Options -> Third Party -> FGX Native -> Form Designer.

Improvements 🙌

Assets designer

Improved stability of the assets designer.

Assets configuration file

Now the Assets\config.json file is automatically formatted for easy viewing of changes.

Biometric Authentication

Now the biometric authentication process startup is started asynchronously to avoid problems when called early in the OnShow event etc.

Bug fixes 🐛

• FGX-440 Designer error.

• FGX-464 When you close Delphi, you almost always get an error.

• Fixed the use of a theme for TfgCheckBox in an inactive state.
