Hello @PolywickStudio ,

I'm in the final stages of implementing FMX support.

There is a release candidate version available at this branch: https://github.com/digao-dalpiaz/Dam/tree/fmx-support

Also, you are gonna need to update DzHTMLText, using this branch: https://github.com/digao-dalpiaz/DzHTMLText/tree/refact-scaling-unit

Two issues to check yet:

• FMX - Incorrect border behavior - https://stackoverflow.com/questions/76164235/creating-forms-dynamically-border-behavior
• VCL - a lot of code to supporting DPI changing
• In Design mode, Msg Editor does not scale (DzHTMLText does not scale when design mode)

These two problems I think I wiil go to solve using designed forms (VCL and FMX separated).

One more thing: Must have a property to deal with mobile dialogs (about dialog size, because in mobile, the dialog should be 100% of width/height?)

---

Limitations:

• FMX - DamMsg.Icon diApp - not supported
• Sounds only supported in MSWINDOWS env
• FMX designed - Msg Edit - images not supported in HTML Text
• FMX - Help in Dialog unsupported
• Lazarus and below D10 - unsupported change dpi in Runtime

In Delphi versions below version XE8, the method of getting the size of the current Monitor does not take into account the current Form, and this can be a problem for calculating the center and size of the screen when displaying and adjusting the DPI of the message.
