History (changes since last version)

• Bug fix - saveSkin and loadSkin methods accept an absolut path as argument.
• New property - MouseDrag is a boolean property which allows window draging when left clicked inside clientArea.
• Bug fix - mask's PixelFormat is set to pfDevice to let Delphi do automatic palete management.
• Loadskin and saveSkin methods were updated to suport new OrganicShapeShifter component.
• Bug fix - Overrided CreateWnd procedure. This solves the bug that caused form to loose its shape when its formStyle property was changed.

Additional Properties:

• Mask : TOrganicSkin
  bitmap descendant that is used as a mask to shape the form. This bitmap is also used to paint the form. Each time you change this bitmap the shape is recalculated. Also, the form's width and height are changed to the MaskBmp's width and height.
• InvisibleColor : TColor
  the transparent color used to calculate the region. Default is white.
• MouseDrag : Boolean
  allows window draging when left clicked inside clientArea.

Additional Methods:

• Procedure saveSkin (folder: string); override
  automatically saves form's skin and every Organic Shape Component's skin that is inside the form.
• Procedure loadSkin (folder: string); override
  automatically retrieves all graphical information from a folder including subcomponent's skins. It's an easy way to implement skins.

Installation:

• Unzip all files to a directory of your choice. Be sure to preserve directory structure and to add this path to your Delphi Library Path.
• Install package delphi4\organicShape.dpk or delphi3\organicShape.dpk.
• Open demos folder and run some examples.
