AlphaControls

AlphaControls is a library of components that developers can use to create one of a kind skinned or non-skinned applications for various purposes.
AlphaControls enables you to create skins that are independent of your operating system, meaning that they will always look good and function accordingly no matter what version of Windows you’re running.
Using this library for your applications, you also have the possibility to create upgradable skins which means that you can always add new borders and shadowing effects as you further develop software without affecting its functionality.

Support for 3rd party components

Since the skins you create require 3rd-party controls that have to be declared using the skin manager, AlphaControls offers support for a very large number of components such as Standard VCL, Windows system dialogs, DevExpress grids, EhLib controls, Billenium effects and many more.

Compatible with Delphi and C++ Builder

AlphaControls supports Delphi 5/6/7/2005-2010/XE-XE5 and C++ Builder 6/2006-2010/XE-XE5 and requires a bit of attention when installing. Depending on your experience with such libraries, AlphaControls can either be a cinch to install or a bit of a bother but luckily for you, it comes with all the documentation you need to help you get passed this step easily.

A very large components database

AlphaControls offers you tens of components, classes, types, routines and constants that you can use in the design of your skin and ultimately in the creation of the app. You also have the possibility to use the components with the skins themselves.

Create professional looking applications

With the above to consider and much more to discover, AlphaControls is by all means a great library to have when you’re looking to create unique skins.
