1.- The Forms have a BackBitmap property as well as a BackBitmapMode, how about adding a mode to shape the form (transparent regions) making transparent the sections with a special color? (with HIgh DPI support of course) It would come very handy!
2.- How about allowing groups of tabs? Our application consists of 67 forms, and 29 modules. I would like to label forms for a special group, for example, create a group labeled: "UDT wizard" and then display only the tabs for forms that are part of that group, hiding the rest.
3.- A label that writes the text directly to the Window DC. With properties and all, being able to use FF_Control_SetText() to it, and with HIgh DPI support, but working with specially generated code to write directly to the Window DC.

I love Firefly, but if the new version would have something like this for me would be fantastic.
I sometimes use RadBuilder for presentations with PowerBasic (by running EXE with OpenRunFile statement) but if I could do with Firefly would not have to do that ... would be integrated into PB code.
This is Longtion RADBUILDER. I love this visual design but would be better with the ease of Firefly and PB:
Exactly. :)
I second 1 and 2, especially 1
3 however I do go understand :(

For forms with background images, labels look a little... to square.
Having transparent labels (or a customizable object that allows icons + text that draws directly in the window DC) would make the form look more professional, instead of having a square with text.
Regular labels work great for plain color forms, but look ugly in forms with image backgrounds.
OK, got it. I'am in.
Have been trying all sorts of bitblit stuff and none of it worked.
