I finished the new MDI-background-painter.
What You can do :
1. Paint MDI-childs, MDI-Buttons and Dialogs on a MDI-frame
2. Any Background-combinations are possible
3. Painters/Selectors for : Colors, Gradients, Brushes, Images and extra Image-selection for Button-transp
4. Any changes from inside the Painters also changes the Background of the MDI-child, MDI-buttons and Dialog.
( to show a changed Background of the MDI-frame, You have to Restart. )
5. Restart from inside the Application, to repaint the MDI-frame-background ( Thanks to Daniel )
6. Save and Load selections from Ini-file
7. Hide the MDI-buttons, to capture the Background-area for transparent-effect.
8. Write a PRG with selected Values
Many Samples, showing the use of the new TSelex-class from inside a Ribbonbar.
No Exit/close-buttons are used for the Painters.
They are closed automaticly, as soon You select a different option from the Ribbonbar.
Changing a option inside a TSelex-group, also changes the selected Painter ( Dialog ) automaticly.

The Start-screen
The MDI-frame selection
The MDI-Child and Dialog selection
The MDI-button selection
Color-selection
Gradient-selection
Change Gradient-display
Brush-selection
Image-selection
Write PRG
Hide MDI-child ( Buttons ) for Screenshot-area
I used for the Screenshot the same Image-name like for the MDI-frame-background like :
MDI-frame = BACK1.jpg, Screenshot-area = BACK1A.jpg
