The AlphaControl website seems to have closed, so we can assume that the product no longer exists. \nIt has not been maintained by the developer for years due to war in Ukraine. I have continued to fix and \nrefactor components and controls myself all these years and will continue to do so in the future. It is still \nthe absolute best solution for skinning Delphi applications.<\/p>\n
EditBone was re-branded to Text Editor Pro. I am the author of both editors. The last version of EditBone was 12.17.4 (February 19, 2017).<\/p>\n
The company’s operations ended on December 31, 2011. When the brand was exploited and I could no longer defend it, I abandoned it. I emphasize that I have absolutely nothing to do with the brand anymore.<\/p>\n
Delphi\/C++.<\/p>\n
Partly yes. You can find shared code from codeberg: https:\/\/codeberg.org\/TextEditorPro\/<\/a> (latest) and github: https:\/\/github.com\/TextEditorPro\/<\/a> (legacy)<\/p>\n I could share all source code but no one could compile a working program because hundreds of fixes, optimizations, and changes have been made to third-party components and controls. Third-party licenses prohibit source code sharing.<\/p>\n It is my own TTextEditor control. The code is now shared: https:\/\/codeberg.org\/TextEditorPro\/TTextEditor<\/a> (latest) and https:\/\/github.com\/TextEditorPro\/TTextEditor<\/a> (legacy)<\/p>\n Yes. Windows ARM support was added in Delphi 13.1 and it is now possible to patch the libraries to support it.<\/p>\n \nThe FMX version has been implemented but will not be shared, at least not yet. \nThe quality level is not satisfying and some features are dropped. \nFMX is slow, inefficient, and lacks the depth of functionality.<\/p>\n Framework Neutral Components (FNC) is interesting alternative to FMX and promises to fix previously mentioned issues. \nIt requires a license but there is a partnership program that could cover the cost.<\/p>\n The only reason is money. Digital signing of the program would incur significant costs each year. Without a company business ID as a private person you need to consult a lawyer to get a notary stamp which incurs additional costs. Programs do not generate so much money that it would make sense to pay for something that has no tangible benefit. Donations don’t even cover the costs of maintaining the website.<\/p>\n Yes, it is. Download zip package and use -appinipath application parameter (once). After INI files are copied into application path the use of -appinipath application parameter is not required. The skins directory requirement was removed in version 30.0.0.<\/p>\n I am a professional software engineer and I spend 8-16 hours in front of the screen every day. I used to suffer from huge headaches but when I started using dark themes in everything, the trouble completely disappeared. I have my own cow in the ditch here but I feel so relieved that for that reason the default theme is dark.\n<\/p>\n \nI understand well (there are quite many options) that everyone has their own preferences. Changing the skin and editor theme is simple. See Tools > Options > Editor > Defaults > Color theme<\/i> and Tools > Options > Skin<\/i>.\n<\/p>\n Use -appinipath application parameter. If you don’t want to use INI at all, use -noini application parameter.<\/p>\n This is a complete hobby project, so releases are generated occasionally depending on how much time is available. I use the editor myself every day and of course I want it to be the best editor available. If something is irritating even a little, it will be fixed asap. Feedback also affects release density.<\/p>\n Yes. Use ctrl + click to set multiple carets or ctrl + shift + click to set multiple carets in multiple locations at once. Multiple carets must be enabled (Tools > Options > Editor > Caret > Multiple carets<\/i>).<\/p>\n Use Tools > Text compare<\/i> or select a file for text compare from tab menu. This feature was added in version 1.7.0.<\/p>\n Most of them are from FatCow Free Web Icons (http:\/\/www.fatcow.com\/free-icons<\/a>) and some of them I have done by myself.<\/p>\n
