SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

FMX UI developers need accessible GPU-backed visual effects to elevate modals, dialogs, and panels without writing custom shaders or lengthy boilerplate.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Provides a set of ready-to-use effects such as TShadowEffect, TBlurEffect, TGlowEffect, TInnerGlowEffect, TReflectionEffect, and overlay patterns suitable for modal styling and frosted glass UI.
  • Enables applying shadows, blurs, glow, reflections, and translucent overlays to enhance depth and focus in FMX applications, especially for dialogs, popups, and panels.
  • Example use: apply a soft drop shadow to a modal panel, or a frosted overlay behind a centered dialog for improved contrast.

Quick Start

Apply a preset effect to a target FMX control and adjust softness/distance to achieve the desired look.

Frequently Asked Questions about developer-delphi-fmx-effects

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I add GPU-accelerated visual effects to Delphi FMX controls?▼

Apply GPU-accelerated visual effects to Delphi FMX controls by using ready-to-use effect components like TShadowEffect, TBlurEffect, and TGlowEffect. These effects enhance UI depth and feedback for FireMonkey dialogs and panels without requiring custom shader code.

What is the best way to create a frosted glass overlay for a modal dialog in FireMonkey?▼

The best way to create a frosted glass overlay for a FireMonkey modal dialog is applying a TBlurEffect to a background panel. This translucent overlay improves contrast and focus behind centered dialogs without writing lengthy boilerplate.

Does applying multiple blur and shadow effects in FMX cause performance issues?▼

Applying multiple blur and shadow effects in FMX can cause performance issues if overdraw occurs. The effects include performance guidelines to help manage rendering layers and avoid excessive GPU load when styling complex dialogs and panels.

How do I apply a soft drop shadow to a popup panel in Delphi FireMonkey?▼

To apply a soft drop shadow to a Delphi FireMonkey popup panel, attach a TShadowEffect component to the target control. You can then adjust the softness and distance properties to achieve the desired depth and visual styling.

Can I animate FMX visual effect properties at runtime for UI feedback?▼

Yes, you can animate FMX visual effect properties at runtime. The component-based approach enables runtime configurability, allowing you to dynamically adjust softness, distance, and other properties of shadows and glow effects to enhance UI feedback.
