Tests

There are test for analog controls (clock and gauge), BC prefixed controls, BGRA prefixed controls, BGRA Custom Drawn controls, how to use Pascal Script and BGRABitmap, bgrascript or how to create your own scripting solution with BGRABitmap.

These are extra tests like how to use fading effect, an fpGUI theme, games like maze and puzzle, how we created the material design animation, pix2svg or how to convert a small picture to svg using hexagons, rectangles and ellipses, plugins or how to load .dlls and use into a TBGRAVirtualScreen, rain effect, shadow effect, 9-slice-scaling with Custom Drawn or how to theme with bitmaps an application to look like Windows themes and 9-slice-scaling with charts.
