How are beautiful Win-interfaces created today?

Question

Delphi

Good evening! There was a need to write a simple application on Windows, no matter what language it will be executed in. The last time I worked in Delphi 7, and then I did not understand how to create a nice looking interface. I figured out how to modify the logic of existing components (buttons and so on), but if, for example, I need to create some special button, beautiful, how do they do it? And how to make a good interface in one window, like SPA on the web? Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

A beautiful interface in Delphi is made on the cross-platform FMX framework. Google it, you'll understand everything.
The possibilities are not inferior to CSS with GPU rendering.
You can see examples in my small blog https://vk.com/delphilive
PS Although, you can also do it beautifully on VCL, but you will have to apply more effort

Answer 2

Something like WinUI / fluent ?

Answer 3

"Beautiful interface", "good interface" are subjective concepts. Either you stick to the style offered by the operating system, then look, for example, at the seminar on using Fluent UI in Delphi on the Embarcadero youtube channel (although the material may be somewhat outdated with the release of windows 11), or you prefer your own "custom" interfaces, then google "component creation in delphi" (relatively old materials will also work, the principles have not changed).
