OpenGL for FMX

[laggyluk]

So yeah, to make a long story short: FireMonkey is a fork of a bad fork. The only reason Embarcadero went back to using OpenGL on other platforms is because DirectX doesn't exist on those platforms. If you want something that works similarly to FMX but is way better, just use GLScene itself, which has always remained actively developed.

Well, I'd wish there was something like firemonkey for lazarus even if it's bad fork/work.

There is. The Lazarus version of GLScene. Like I said, FireMonkey is based on DXScene which was itself based on GLScene.

You mean I can make UI for my next project by dropping and layouting bunch of decent looking components on the form like in Firemonkey without paying 2k euros?
