Can also implement a comparison of free disk space and, based on the results, place a temporary folder there for unpacking.

I know what can be done with kernels in mind, but it doesn't make sense for my repack.

FMXInno - Final Release: Hotfix_01


* The FMXInno final build includes three main types of FMXInno libs. (yes, i should have mentioned these facts earlier; i really forgot, sorry.)

1. FMXInno Standard:
   - Contains all FMXInno features.
   - Path1: .\Files\FMXInno.dll
   - Path2: .\FMXInno+FXPacker\Files\FMXInno.dll

2. FMXInno Standard + SKIA:
   - Includes all Standard features and SKIA features.
   - Path: .\SKIA\FMXInno.dll
   - Requires 'sk4d.dll' to be next to 'FMXInno.dll'.

3. FMXInno Standard + Blend2D:
   - Combines Standard features with Blend2D features.
   - Path: .\_Blend2D\Files\FMXInno.dll
   - Requires 'blend2d_win32.dll' to be next to 'FMXInno.dll'.

================================================== =========

* in the latest final release (FMXInno + SKIA + Blend2D - Final Release [2024-Feb-24]), i also forgot the following:

1. For SKIA:
   a. To replace Firemonkey canvas with SKIA canvas.
   b. To enable GPU Acceleration.

   >> Resulting in the lowest FPS rate and the experience of slow animations and lags.

2. For XBass_F:
   a. To adjust to be compatible with new changes.

   >> Resulting in unexpected behavior and crashes when closing the 'setup.exe'.

3. Additionally, i slightly sped up the Dark-Light mode transition.

thanks to @audiofeel for reporting these bugs.



================================================== =========

* to apply Hotfix_01:

1. Just replace the old files with the new ones.

HI, @BLACKFIRE69, can you add Radiant Shapes to the FMXInno.

• Radiant Parallelogram.
• Radiant Hexagon.

Code for Edit Box

  Page2Edit.FCreate(Page2.Handle);
  Page2Edit.SetBounds(NSSX(100), NSSY(190), NSSX(520), NSSY(35));
  Page2Edit.FontSetting('{#FontName}', VCLFontSizeToFMX2(13), ALGainsBoro);

  Page2Edit.Enabled(True);
  Page2Edit.Text(MinimizePathName(WizardForm.DirEdit.Text, WizardForm.DirEdit.Font, WizardForm.DirEdit.Width));
  Page2Edit.OnTyping(@BrowseEditOnChange);

Logic for procedure

procedure BrowseEditOnChange(Sender: TObject);
var
  PrevDrive, CurrentDrive: String;
begin
  PrevDrive := ExtractFileDrive(WizardForm.DirEdit.Text);
  CurrentDrive := ExtractFileDrive(Page2Edit.GetText);

  // Set the installation path to the edited text value
  WizardForm.DirEdit.Text := Page2Edit.GetText;

  if PrevDrive <> CurrentDrive then
    DirUpdateProc(nil);
end;

Logic for Directory Update Procedure:

procedure DirUpdateProc(Sender: TObject);
begin
  DiskUsage.SetDir(WizardForm.DirEdit.Text);
  SelectDirLabel[3].Text('Total Space - ' + MbOrTb(DiskUsage.TotalSpace, 1) + #13 +
                         'Available Space - '+ MbOrTb(DiskUsage.FreeSpace, 1) + #13 +
                         'Repack Size - ' + MbOrTb({#RepackSize}, 1));
  if Round(DiskUsage.FreeSpace) > StrToInt('{#RequiredSpace}') then
  begin
    WizardBtn[4].Enabled(True);  //Install Button enabled if there is space
  end else
  begin
    WizardBtn[4].Enabled(False); //Install Button disabled if no space
    ShowMessage('Not Enough Space', 'Selected Directory does not have required space. Please select a different directory location.');
  end;
end;

Declare a global variable DiskSkip in the top

var
DiskSkip: Boolean;

Updated changes here:

procedure CurStepChanged(CurStep: TSetupStep);
var
  i: Integer;

  DiskSkip:= False;
  if CurStep = ssInstall then begin
    ISArcExCancel := 0;
    ISArcExDiskCount := 0;
    ISArcDiskAddingSuccess := False;
    ISArcExError := True;

    #include "Game/UnpackTools_Init.iss"
    { - ADDING DISKS: BEGIN -}
    repeat
      {< Main Archives >}
      #ifdef Data1
        VerifyFileExist('Data-01.bin');
        if DiskSkip then break;
      #endif
      #ifdef Data2
        VerifyFileExist('Data-02.bin');
        if DiskSkip then break;
      #endif

      {< Components >}
      #ifdef Component1
        if Checkbox[8].ISChecked then
        VerifyFileExist('selective-english.bin');
      #endif
      #ifdef Component2
        if Checkbox[9].ISChecked then
        VerifyFileExist('selective-bonus.bin');
      #endif
      until true;
    { - ADDING DISKS: END -}

      ISArcExStop;
      if ISArcExError then
        ShowMessage('Installation was interrupted', 'Either the installation has been cancelled by the user,' +#13+ 'or the files are corrupted.');
      end else if not (ISArcDiskAddingSuccess) and (DiskSkip) then
        ShowMessage('Installation is corrupted', 'Required disks could not be located.');

Common procedure to handle all Data files

procedure VerifyFileExist(FilePath: WideString);
var

Hi @BlackFire,

I have identified that in 1080p the Form doesn't pop-up at the center of the screen, it is slightly to the left. This is not happening with everyone.

Another issue with FCustomFluentWindow is if once triggered it keeps on popping-up repeatedly and cannot be closed.

MessageForm.FCreate(FMXForm.HandleHWND, True, False, 0.56, 0);

Temporary fix where it doesn't happen

MessageForm.FCreateBlankForm(FMXForm.HandleHWND, ALBlack, '');

This is also happening for few people. I'm using a gaming mouse but macro is not enabled. Can you please take a look or let me know the reason or fix?

I've created two videos associated to this. Copy-paste the link after 'youtube.com/' as I'm unable to post the link because they get automatically parsed.

Yes the issue is the resolution scale. In 100%, it comes completely in the center of the screen, but in 125%, it is slightly to the left.

I'm not using any custom theme file here. No code changes here, just the default template shared by @Blackfire for WPI Corepack and the issue is happening for FCustomFluentWindow for me.

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).

Can someone help me in animating this section down on the click of 'i' (info button) ? Check the gif:
Page[1]: FCustomPage;
PageContent[1]: FRectangle;

  Page[1].FCreate(ShadowImg.Handle);
  Page[1].Visible(False);

  PageContent[1].FCreate(Page[1].Handle);
  PageContent[1].FillColor(HTMLColorStrToFMXColor('#1f2227'));
  PageContent[1].SetBounds(20, 70, 780, 150);
  PageContent[1].Opacity(0.85);
  PageContent[1].CornerStyle(2, 2, [tcTopLeft, tcTopRight, tcBottomLeft, tcBottomRight], ctRound);

Hi @Blackfire

The earlier issue with FCreateBlankForm, where it loads with a blank image before load, has resurfaced. When running for the first time it is for more time, it subsequently gets faster (depending upon SSD/HDD, I suppose). Can you please look into it?

I'm not sure if there is already a fix for it, as I lost track of some recent changes in FMXInno. If there is a fix, let me know.

Image and gif added for review.
