Coming soon: Bookmarks and Navigator for 10.3 Rio

A week ago, we released RAD Studio 10.3. Since then, I’ve had many people asking when Bookmarks and Navigator are going to be updated for it! The answer is soon. I had hoped this weekend, but there were a few obstacles. I am working on this. All plugins currently build for Rio. The work currently […]


Bookmarks and Navigator for 10.2 Tokyo – plus new features!

I’m very pleased to release  and . What’s new? New in Navigator 1.4 New minimap rendering. Navigator has had a minimap since the very beginning, and a great deal of attention was paid to how it rendered. The minimap is antialiased and renders the text itself. However, this often meant lines of code were quite faint / blurred […]

However, there […]

Parnassus and the IDE plugins I make have not been acquired, and remain independent. Working […]


Bookmarks bugfix – changing shortcuts

I’ve just released a small update to Parnassus Bookmarks, version 1.5.1.0. This fixes a bug where, when you changed the add bookmark or add caret (stack) bookmark shortcut, you would often end up having both shortcuts add a normal bookmark. Oddly enough, the controlling factor was if the Shift key was pressed – any shortcut […]


Antialiased images on the Delphi splash screen

How do you have nice-looking icons on the Delphi / C++Builder IDE splash screen? As regular readers of my blog or users of my plugins know, I care about details and appearance a lot. This is visible in the visual style of my plugins, but also carries through to the source code or design. The […]
