    Just downloaded the demo, very nice. I would really suggest you set up a open source project on bitbucket/googlecode

    Thanks, looks fine, one remark:
    When created many tabs and start to close tabs in the middle (not from the end of tabs) then first moved the New tab button, than moved last tabs and New tab button for some small time is over tabs. I this this button should be moved after tabs moving

    Several problems found and fixed.
    1. Doesn't compile with Delphi 2007 (version.inc problem)
    2. Crash at runtime with access violation on Windows 8.

    Fixes are here:

    Alex Egorov Thanks for the bug reports. I'll fix them. The anmated icons are on the list (see ChromeTabs.pas for know issues and features). I'm no animation expert so I was hoping that somebody could give me some advice on how to perform the animation without having to redraw the whole control every time.

    Thanks Paul for your great work and I wish that the component support the RightToLeft (BidiMode)

    Hi Khalid Dawood... I did implement bidi text. You can set it using the RightToLeft property. In the demo you can find it on the text tab next to word wrap. If it isn't implemented the way you expected, please let me know and I'll try to fix it.

    I saw the support for the Bidi Text, but what I mean is start drawing the tabs from Right side of the form to the Left side and close button on each tab will be on the left edge.
    If you wish I can show you an image of the Google Chrome tabs from RightToLeft

    Khalid Dawood - A picture would be great. I'll do my best to implement the feature properly.
