[+] LMD native Edit and ComboBox controls: LMDApplication.ThemeUseColorProperty added. After many requests we implemented now support of Color property in themed mode. If your application requires previous behaviour, set somewhere in your code LMDApplication.ThemeUseColorProperty to false (and like before Color property is ignored in themed mode).<br>
[+] LMDCustomMaskEdit: UnMaskedText property added (allows to read clear text and write text with automatic format according to the current mask)<br>
[+] TLMDTrayIcon, major enhancements with support for various extended TrayIcon features (available from Win2k and better):<br>

* Properties added: BalloonHint, BalloonTitle, property BalloonTimeout, BalloonFlags and Options
* Event added: OnAnimate
* Methods added: 
** function CanShowBallonHint:Boolean; (Balloon hints supported)
** function CurrentImageIndex:Integer;
** procedure HideBallonHint;
** procedure HideApplication;
** procedure ShowApplication;
** function ShowBalloonHint:Boolean; overload;
** function ShowBalloonHint(const aTitle, aHint: String; aFlags: TLMDBalloonFlags = bfNone; aTimeOut: Integer = 10000):Boolean; overload;
** procedure Refresh;
** procedure SetDefaultIcon;

All new features are demonstrated in the reworked TLMDTrayIcon demo (available for Delphi(.NET)). <br>[*] LMDHTMLUnit: small fix to process font color in links (ex: &lt;a href="test"&gt;&lt;font color=clRed&gt;test&lt;font&gt;&lt;/s&gt; - font must be clRed + LinkColor)
