Changelog

1.2.0

Release date: Oct 12 2018

New

[mac] added as custom controls to .

Fixed

[win + mac] is reset now too during a system color change.
[Demo] Windows are now registered at as so they correctly change their custom background color.

1.1.1

Release date: Oct 11 2018

New

[win + mac] Dynamic system colors are cached now. Both systems install a watcher to invalidate the colors in case of a color palette / Appearance change, otherwise their values will be retrieved from the interal cache. Therefore better performance.
[win] Uses the method for an approximation of systemColor.Colors under Windows – which means there are not that fully saturated r etc. on Windows too.
[all] The former blendColor implementation for Windows and Linux now exists as xplatform method – because that is basically what it did.
[mac + win] several extension methods for setting images and icons in PushButtons, RadioButtons, Popupmenus and similar features.
[mac + win] Many Pushbutton features extended to work on RadioButtons too.
[mac] now includes methods for PushButton, RadioButton, PopupMenu, Window, MenuItem and SegmentedControl.
[win] supports many controls- and windows features in conjunction with images under Windows as a sidekick for AppKitAddition.

Fixed

Please note that currently Dark Mode and changes to and from it under Windows are not supported. It is rumored that Microsoft will change this in a coming Windows 10 release.

[win] 64 bit compatibility
[mac] Removal of unused Windows parameters.

Known problems

[win] The controls window sometimes crashes during opening on Windows. This seems to be a beta bug caused by getting the ICON handle of an image for a repeated time.

1.0.1 - 2018-10-01

Fixed

Added a pragma to make the project work with Xojo < 2018r3.
