Graphical Light Bulbs
« on: April 15, 2011, 11:34:24 pm »
Hey people.
I'd like to put virtual little flashing lights on my GUI program, like the ones at the bottom-right corner of the FileZilla main form. You know them?
It's just I'm not sure how to implement them. Thanks,

You could use a TShape.

Maybe but I was more thinking along the lines of an image of a bulb that updates itself and is stored in the binary. Not sure how to achieve this though.

Nah, but that's a cool package, I might use that in the future.
If you look up pictures of FileZilla and you should see little lights in the corner of the main window. I'll post screenshots when I get on a computer.
I think they're just icons but I don't know how I would get them to update and store them.
