Delphi FireMonkey components for adding animations, effects, and visual consistency to TFrame and TForm descendants.
TFrameStand and TFormStand are Delphi FireMonkey components that allow developers to easily use TFrame or TForm descendants in their applications. They provide a framework for adding animations, effects, and visual consistency across the user interface, solving the challenge of creating modern, polished FMX applications.
Delphi developers building FireMonkey (FMX) desktop applications who want to enhance UI with animations, transitions, and consistent visual layers.
Developers choose these components for their simplicity in integrating advanced visual effects, design-time preview capabilities, and the ability to maintain a cohesive user experience across different parts of an application.
TFrameStand and TFormStand components for Delphi FireMonkey (FMX)
Open-Awesome is built by the community, for the community. Submit a project, suggest an awesome list, or help improve the catalog on GitHub.
Available on Embarcadero's GetIt package manager for quick setup, with manual installation documented for latest updates, including multi-platform library path configuration.
Adds a common visual layer (stand) and enables smooth animations like fade-ins and transitions, as shown in demos such as lightbox and Material Design-like views.
Leverages Fire UI technology through TFormStand for real-time style previews during development, speeding up UI design and testing.
Includes over 10 demo projects covering use cases from wait screens to responsive layouts, providing practical, copy-paste examples for rapid implementation.
Tied exclusively to Delphi FireMonkey, limiting community support and compatibility with other frameworks, and reliant on Embarcadero's tooling and updates.
The README warns 'beware! :-)' for manual installations, suggesting potential instability or versioning issues with newer Delphi releases beyond tested versions (XE8 to 12 Athens).
Requires deep understanding of TFrame/TForm hierarchies and FireMonkey specifics, which may be challenging for developers new to Delphi's UI model or transitioning from VCL.
