This is one of the new property dialogs for WPTools FMX
In contrast to the VCL dialog it is sizeable and will re-arrange the edit fields.

This screenshot shows how the current build of the WPTools-FMX beta loads a rather big document: The WPTools manual.
It is able to display the preview, there are dialogs to find&replace, page and paragraph properties.
Today improvement: The ruler and the editor responds well to the FMX scaling - the display quality does not degrade with higher scaling factors. So it is possible to build applications which can dynamically adjusted to screen resolution or user requirements!
Please send an e-mail if you want to try out the beta exe for windows.

Thanks for your comment,
For the start this tool should work on Windows and OSX. I also see a chance that it can work on Linux (with fmxlinux) as well. The dialogs which have been converted already are responsive to make them more independent from the screen layout.
Support for Android is under consideration, not necessarily as word processor (another) but as reporting and document creation engine.

Big progress with the optimization of the rendering code, especially to optimize the editing experience under OSX.
Now on windows and OSX the editor is at least as fast as the WPTools VCL.

The mobile pack is now part of the "regular" Delphi 10.3.3 professional which makes this platform a lot more interesting.
So, since several days I was testing the current WPTools FMX alpha on Android - after fixing some memory issues it finally looks promising.
The test app starts on Android and the text is displayed. Typing also works, albeit the keyboard interface is pretty tricky.
I am not sure if it would be interesting enough to use WPTools as text editor on android, but to create reports and display data I imagine it to be great. If only the PDF export would be ready yet ...

Getting closer - now printing on OSX works. Finally I found problem and solution for fonts being scaled too large on OSX printer canvas. (QC RSP-20422)

In the meantime an extensive code changed (including the introduction of generics) made it possible to compile for Android.

hi, is there some news about Fmx trial version ?

I see only little interest in Firemonkey in this thread and also in here: FireMonkey so I wonder if there are actual developers using it.
So if there is interest in this development it would help to speak about that in public.
WPTools FMX works pretty nicely, but not in all aspect, i.e. I cannot fix the android keyboard handling on FMX, iOS I have not tested yet. OSX is good.

I would like to use in osx, do you have some demo to test ?

I updated the ZIP fin FileBase to also included a DMG with an OSX app with the same functionality as the windows version.

A FMX trail version (win321,win64, osx32) will be available in a few days....
If you are interested to talk with me about it - I am at the "Forentage" in Mannheim on Saturday 21.
In the demo above see the Slider "FMX Scaling" - it changes the scaling value for the GUI while "zoom" operates on the text window only. In both cases the text in the editor should not become blurry since WPTools adapts instantly to the dpi change.

There is a new demo available: V9.1.016.
It includes support files for OSX64.
The rendering has been improved a lot, the ruler now scales correctly and there is a new dialog to edit the tabs of a paragraph.
