Howto Define 3D Colors

[pwhittin]

How does one set the 3D colors for an LCL application?

By default, it seems, a TPanel shows its bevels in the default system colors on Windows (i.e. green, or whatever colors the user has chosen).

I don't want to use any of the system colors!

You can't define them (AFAIK)

Nope only the OS can change them, or you can change them system wide.
You should make your own custom components to change this behaviour, i'm working on some myself

Thanks for all the input.

I found that Delphi's TPanel also lacks the ability to change the bevel colors.

I also found this URL illustrating a TPanel descendent that does allow bevel color setting:

We need it to work in other OSes not just Windows.
