Hi,
Just checked latest Custom Drawn package from SVN. Is this project abandoned? Because seems that nothing changed from a years. I'm big fan of such kind frameworks (like fpGUI) and I think that Custom Drawn was a good idea.
Regards

(Sorry for repeating this again, but I think it might be intersting for Krzysztof.)
I am watching the Lazarus "CustomDrawn" Widget Type (aka "Interface") as well, and did play with it some time ago.
In fact my idea with it is to do some kind of remote GUI for headless (Linux and now additionally Win IOT Core) systems that don't support a Widget Set (Linux) or the GDI winapi (Win IOT Core).
For this, I already have a draft of an "Active NoGIO" Widget Type for Lazarus (Linux) that might be combined with what already exists in the "CustomDrawn" Widget Type.
I hope to take up this task again once fpc 3.x is officially released (this is necessary for my design of the "Active NoGIO" Widget Type), and I find some spare time to play with that project.

It seems that way. I think you will have better luck, and reach a faster usable level if contributions where made to the LCL-fpGUI widgetset. The Custom Drawn widgetset is still missing so much - only the very rough (basic) implementation of widgets have been created, then there is still the LCL interface layer too. fpGUI itself is already a well established toolkit by itself, and well tested in many open source and commercial software. The basics for LCL-fpGUI has also been implemented, and the widgets on the Standard Component Palette already works (bar the TLabel
- which requires lots of Win32 API like functions in the widgetset layer).
