Adds new chart control and improves high DPI resolution support.
Features
Enhanced High DPI Resolution Support
- Enabled SVG icons by default across all supported UI controls.
- In addition to built-in icons displayed at runtime, numerous PNG icons have been replaced with SVG equivalents in design-time editors. Please note that this change primarily affects Embarcadero RAD Studio Alexandria 11 IDE because only its latest versions support High DPI environments.
'Light' Style Rendering
- Enabled the 'Light' Style rendering mode by default (TdxVisualRefinements.ApplyLightStyle(True)).
- The following UI controls now support 'Light' style rendering:
- TdxListViewControl and TdxShellListView.
- TcxPivotGrid and TcxDBPivotGrid.
- TcxTreeList, TcxVirtualTreeList, and TcxDBTreeList.
- TcxDBVerticalGrid, TcxRTTIInspector, TcxVirtualVerticalGrid, and TcxVerticalGrid.
- TcxScheduler.
- TcxMCListBox.
- TcxListView.
New Microsoft Windows 11 Theme
- Added a new WXI skin (theme) which is based on Microsoft Windows 11.
- The WXI theme ships with advanced visual effects and animations.
- Optimized the rendering engine to address rendering performance and UI/UX flexibility. With this new rendering engine, new vector skins can be delivered faster and help you ship more modern and elegant user interfaces.
