JvXPBar

About

A port of JVCL's TJvXPBar control that can display an icon, a header and zero or more clickable items in its client area. Use a TJvXPBar control on a form to display an XP style group box with items that can be clicked.

Note: AFAIK VirtualPC can only emulate 16 bits per pixel resolution, thats why gradient has low quality, it should see better in real monitor.
