Thanks for letting me know. I find LCL too inconsistent between platforms (lcl-gtk2, lcl-qt, lcl-carbon etc). That is why I implemented my own custom drawn toolkit (100% written in Object Pascal), called fpGUI (fpgui.sourceforge.net - fpGUI Toolkit). Maybe I should look into implementing a new GPU accelerated backend for fpGUI instead.
A. Bouchez: Personally I designed fpGUI for desktop applications, but there has been talks in the past by others to implement Android support. Just recently those talks started appearing again, and somebody is now looking into the viability of such a task. I'm open to such contributions. The new design changes in the unstable develop branch does lend itself to be much more portable to new platforms (with less effort) - so maybe this time it will become a reality. Years ago I added support for WinCE too (as an experiment), and it ended up being very useful for my needs at the time. So maybe I'll get more interested in Android support too. :)

ReplyDeleteGraeme Geldenhuys If fpGUI worked on Android and iPhone, it may have been perfect... ;)
