Change color of a most controls (ie TPanel) in a Firemonkey Mobile in Delphi XE6

Question

Many controls like TPanel and so on, do not support a simple way to change color of any element.

The standard Firemonkey Application use the "Styles" feature. (rx click on the component and choose Edit Custom Style)

But into Firemonkey Mobile Application, it's impossible customize the style. (if you rx click on the component, "Edit Custom Style" is missing)

For example, how to change the background color of TPanel?

Answer 1

Replace the TPanel with a TRectangle (which is all that a TPanel is anyway).

For other controls use the Tint property that is introduced in XE6.
