Firemonkey brings us the ability to add styles, vector graphics, bitmaps, effects, animations etc to our apps. But I'm no designer, so I'll need to hire one to do the fancy work. But as far as I can see all the design work is done within the IDE.
Is there an easy way to enable a designer to work on a project without needing the to have a copy of Delphi XE2 and a full copy of my source code?
(Yes, they can edit the .style file, but that not exactly visual or convenient).
It looks as if, currently, there is only the editor in the Delphi IDE. Perhaps someone (Embarcadero or 3rd party) will write an external one. The format is very similar to that of a .dfm of .fmx.
So currently, what is left is editing the styles in a text editor, I'm afraid. Not something a professional GUI designer would love to do, I guess. Sorry.
Answering my own question here, and I apologise if this is classed as advertising but since asking the question I've been working on a solution - a stand alone style designer for FireMonkey which is currently in beta at http://monkeystyler.com/styler
You may have a look to this blog. Where the autor explains how to change the Firemonkey style AND at the end give a tool to do it 'in run time'
