TMS Aero Controls Pack

Note: All components from the TMS VLC UI Pack can now be found here.

First introduced with Windows Vista, Aero Glass featured a glass-like design that reflected over the borders, taskbars and other surfaces in the operating system. Not only did the transparency had the role of making the Windows more visually appealing, but also to draw the attention of the user to the content within a window or program.

Although highly appreciated, the theme was replaced with Aero UI in Windows 8. The move from Microsoft was rather shocking considering that Aero Glass is still highly appreciated. Nevertheless, the developer needed to sacrifice something so that they can start working on a platform can be unified across mobiles, tablets, Xbox consoles, laptops and desktops.

TMS Aero Controls Pack is a powerful and reliable control set designed to be used on Aero Glass Windows Vista and Windows 7 areas. If you would like to embed the transparency theme in any of your applications, then you can consider the direct replacements for the regular VCL label, button as well as speed button with Aero glass compatibility.

Among the tweaks you can enjoy via the library you can count forward, backward and combined buttons along with optional drop down buttons for the wizard forms you are developing. There are also the labels with blurred Aero text drawing and extended support fro imagelist images located right or left of the text.
