Fade animation

[LemonParty]

Hello.

You probably know the program AIMP. It has a nice interface. And the thing that especially interest me is a light up / fade effect when you enter / take off cursor of the button. How such effect realized under the hood? Maybe there are already existing components with such effect?

Check BGRAControls: TBCImageButton has fade effect.

Technically, manipulating the transparency byte. Look at AlphaBlend/AlphaBlendValue.
You do not need bgra controls if it is only the form.

What properties should I change to achieve this effect?

I've done it with my own GUI written using PTCGraph. There's a focus color that needs to be changed (and a flag set) when the mouse is over the button, but it reverts to the unfocused state when the mouse is not there, it's probably done the same way.   Another way to fade colors to adjust the palette entry up and down. I've done that in one of my solitaire games to show the card that was selected.

Is enabled by default, the property 'Animation' (Boolean).

You must provide your own images with the desired drawing... check the examples.

Thank you. It works.

Beware the package has a couple of leaks in it.

I just checked and it looks like the online packager has not been updated nor do I know if a new package has actually been created at the site. I suppose you could build it yourself.
