Color Palette Customization

The factory that creates a color palette used by the Actipro theme generator can now be customized and assigned. A default factory implementation is included that allows for easy adjustment of the color ramps generated by the color palette. You can easily adjust all palette colors and tint a theme to any color you prefer. This feature goes a long way towards creating a unique appearance for your applications.

Color Palette Utility

The Color Palette utility, part of our samples app, visually displays the entire color palette for the current theme. It now has a drop-down for selecting between several neutral midtone colors. Neutrals are important because they make up 80-90% of a theme and effectively tint a theme. The tinting effect is more apparent in dark theme variants. Another new drop-down lets you select the hue for accent colors, such as those used for selected item backgrounds.

Docking / MDI

Semi-Transparent Dragged Windows

A new option allows floating windows to appear semi-transparent while dragged. This makes it easier to see what drop targets are behind the dragged window.
