Hi,

I've created a patch to make the Docking Grab Handles (of Anchor Docking package) to have a more subtle look. The original look was too distracting for my personal taste. I like it to blend in better with the main form.

Before image:

After image:

Mantis report with patch:
http://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=22900

I tried to keep theming in mind. I made the background of the handles clForm. This could probably be tweaked to a difference color, if you want the handles to stand out more.

As I mentioned in the Mantis report. If this is not the look that the Lazarus team is going for, then please disregard my patch.

Regards,
- Graeme -

Looks nice to me, good work.

Can the user set the width/height of the splitters between docked areas ?

To me the area where the mouse cursor change to "resize" is too small.

At options the splitter width can be modified, but even after restarting the ide I see no change.

I'm using an old snapshot of Lazarus, so ignore if this was already solved.

Yes, I'm using the latest Lazarus 1.1 (trunk) under LCL-GTK2. Setting the width in the Options dialog does change it in the IDE (without a restart needed).

I guess you need to update your Lazarus then. Otherwise, it might be a specific LCL widgetset issue?

It is probably due to my lack of updates.

Good to know it's working, thank you Graeme.
