TAdvShape

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

The fact that the human perception is flawed and deceiving can be proven by dozens of optical illusions in which different people see distinct elements. Knowing this simple aspect can go a long way in web design as you could consider using visual tricks to create readable and well-balanced fonts.

Regardless of whether you are working on menus, tabs or buttons, one of the elements that can help you achieve your goals and add appeal to the UI at the same time are shapes.

TadvShape is a set of components that can enable web-designers to create complex shapes within their projects, including gradient and bitmap background. The library supports rotation along with HTML formatted text, while being adaptable to each programmer's needs.

As far as the available shapes are concerned, you can use various standard shapes, such as round rectangle, square, rectangle, circle, ellipse, triangle, star and round square. At the same time, you can add clipped or non-clipped HTML formatted text and bevel on shape. They can be customized with solid colors, gradient, bitmap fill of shape or a solid color with brush style. If necessary, you can alter the rotation angle of the shape and change the style as well as the pen color of the shape border.
