Please how can i make the docksite transparent? I put a gradient panel on the same form i put docksite but does not see the gradient panel. Thank You.

Hi,

Unfortunately, there no such option. If you want to change site background you should create your own style. But, again, styles does not provide a way to draw gradients.

Ouch. ):

Maybe in a future update?

Hm... May be, I'll think.

Thank you, that would be very nice. 

Two option:

1. The possibility to set gradient for the docksite itself. Parameters: Start/end color, 'density' of the gradient, linear gradient is enough (vertical/horizontal).

2. Or transparent docksite so we can use components like Jedi VCL's gradient panel.

I would like to set a nice light natural gray to a bit darker gray gradient as a background of my application. Harsh gradients are ugly, but a light gentle gradient (mostly light shades of grey) can make the application look much better, even if the background is covered by the dock panels most of the time.
