TBitBtn Glyph and Bitmap Issue
« on: April 27, 2026, 10:48:47 am »
Hi, I was trying to duplicate the effect shown for the TBitBtn here:

https://wiki.freepascal.org/TBitBtn

The first attached screenshot shows the same. No matter what I try I have failed to create the same blue glossy gradient effect.

So my questions are:

1. How does one go about replicating this exact same effect?
2. Is this gradient effect created in a separate program like gimp?

The second screenshot shows what I have in design mode and the third is what I see when I run the app. Why are my images not being rendered? I am using 4.99 trunk.

Any guidance is most welcome.

That button from the wiki article is just how buttons used to look in Windows Vista and Windows 7 - the green checkmark is what it's actually trying to illustrate.

Ah, alright one problem is sorted out. Many thanks @Khrys. So I guess I would be better of creating my own custom control button?
