FMXInno - Windows Fluent Design Installer UI for Inno

[BLACKFIRE69]

Hola everyone,

This is the FMXInno official development library, encompassing all features. my intention with this update is to address known issues so far. therefore, i need your assistance in testing it, especially in this development build. i intend to ensure the correct behavior of forms, including proper scaling and positioning.

1. Note: This is in the development stage and not recommended for use in production.

2. Don't forget to share your feedback and feel free to report any bugs you discover.

* Information:

1. Rewrote some core/fundamental code, including forms, etc.:

-- Ensures correct scaling and positioning of forms and FMX objects.
-- All forms will now be centered on the screen.

-- Disabled file size reduction tricks and temporary memory management.
-- Replaced all animations with TAnimator for better performance.

-- Some features (e.g., MinimizeWindowCustomAnimated) have been deprecated due to issues; they can still be called but will have no effect.
-- NewScaller is no longer part of FMXInno, so make sure to remove all related functions (NS, NSS, etc.) from your scripts.

-- The new FForm will be slightly shorter in width/height as the extra frame width is not added to it.
-- When testing with higher DPI values and using .style files, ensure the .style file is HigherDPI-Aware.

-- Some features may not function properly on older systems like Windows 7. Since many developers, including Microsoft, have ceased support for outdated systems, my priority is to ensure compatibility with currently active systems such as Windows 10 and Windows 11.

-- Additionally, there's no guarantee that any issues encountered through virtual machines (VMware, etc.) will be resolved.

-- For 'FCustomPage', use 'Page#.Visible(False)' in 'FMXDesigning' to avoid visibility of all pages at setup startup.

Example:

procedure FMXDesigning;
begin
  {...}
  Page1.FCreate(FMXForm.Handle);
  Page1.Visible(False);
  
  {...}
  
  Page2.FCreate(FMXForm.Handle);
  Page2.Visible(False);
  {...}
end;

2. Rewrote some fluent effects code:

-- Ensures FluentForms react only to system color mode (light/dark) changes.
-- 'SetActiveThemeModeAwareness' will be ignored if the form is minimized.


3. Download the attachment below and perform tests under the following conditions:

OS:

- Windows 11
- Windows 10
- Windows 8 / 8.1 ( Optional )
- Windows 7 ( Optional )

DPI:

- 100%
- 125%
- 150%, etc.



4. Also, test with your own scripts:
-- Replace your current 'FMXInno.dll' and 'FMXInnoHandle.iss' with the provided ones.


5. Some users have reported that it takes a bit of time to compile their scripts. this is because it takes time to read the default 'FMXInnoHandle.iss', which contains declarations of all features. if you have enough experience to deal with it, you can remove unused code from it for your specific script, which may help.

* FMXInno Form Types:

1. Normal Form:
   -- This is just an FMX layer; you can create any FMX object over it.
   -- You can still see through and access every InnoSetup object as this is a layer.

2. Blank Form:
   -- A standard FMX form filled with a solid color or an image by default.

3. Fluent Form / Fluent Color Form / Fluent Null (no-color) Form:
   -- FMX forms that have enabled Windows Fluent (or Acrylic/Aero) effects by default.

4. Gradient Form:
   -- A standard FMX form filled with a gradient color by default.

5. Image Form:
   -- An FMX form based on an image (form has the same shape as the image).

6. Background image scrolling Form:
   -- An FMX form that has a scrolling image background according to mouse movements.

* Scaling:

1. Note that there's no guarantee for any custom scaling value for correct scaling (see first screenshot).
2. Make sure to use only the values supported by your display (see second screenshot).
