BGRA Controls is a set of graphical UI elements that you can use with Lazarus LCL applications.
If you like BGRAControls please support @lainz on Patreon and support @circular17 with PayPal.
Use the Online Package Manager to get BGRABitmap and BGRAControls.
Notice that you must check only the packages "bgrabitmappack.lpk" and "bgracontrols.lpk" in the Online Package Manager. The other packages are optional and may need third party packages / libraries to work (OpenGL and PascalScript).
Since v4.4 the components TBCDefaultThemeManager, TBCKeyboard and TBCNumericKeyboard are not installed by default to allow Linux users to get a seamless installation with the Online Package Manager not installing third party stuff. If you want these components turn on the "Register unit" in the package options for each file (bcdefaulthememanager.pas, bckeyboard.pas, bcnumerickeyboard.pas) then compile and rebuild Lazarus. On Linux you need to install libxtst-dev and libgl-dev first.

Putting BGRABitmap methods into a .dll with c#, java and pascal headers.
How to create a fully themed window using the controls to achieve a Ribbon like application.
There are test for analog controls (clock and gauge), BC prefixed controls, BGRA prefixed controls, BGRA Custom Drawn controls, how to use Pascal Script and BGRABitmap, bgrascript or how to create your own scripting solution with BGRABitmap.
These are extra tests like how to use fading effect, an fpGUI theme, games like maze and puzzle, how we created the material design animation, pix2svg or how to convert a small picture to svg using hexagons, rectangles and ellipses, plugins or how to load .dlls and use into a TBGRAVirtualScreen, rain effect, shadow effect, 9-slice-scaling with Custom Drawn or how to theme with bitmaps an application to look like Windows themes and 9-slice-scaling with charts.
These units come with BGRA Controls and contains more functionality that is sometimes used with the controls, sometimes not but are usefull in some way. Some are listed here, others you can see linked directly with any control like bcrtti, bcstylesform, bctools, bctypes.
