The glyphs associated with TBitBtn for even Delphi 2010 are choppy and “ugly”. Is there a backwards-compatibility reason that they remain? Does Embarcadero include updated png replacements that I could use instead of these normal glyphs?
Maybe it’s just me, but I’d love to see Embarcadero solicit (or hire) graphic designers to improve these icons.
Oh how I wish that control would just die :-/… It was introduced in Delphi 1, which targeted 16bit Windows 3.x. At that time little glyphs on buttons were very novel and “dressed up” the UI. (Remember BWCC?) I suppose the UI standards were much lower then, because I cringe every time I see an application with those glyphs… They are mainly included for backward compatibility purposes.
Just stick with a regular TButton, which is a native Windows control and now natively supports more styles than even the TBitBtn (we were vowel challenged in those days, too). If you simply must include a glyph on the button Delphi/RAD Studio XE includes a whole host of free, more modern, glyphs from GlyFX (http://www.glyfx.com/).
