Yep, but the API between the no-Widget-Type depending LCL parts and the 
Widget set seems quite complex (using some kind of registration for the 
available classes of controls etc) and the parts that are necessary to 
be implemented for all Widget types (i. e the event queue and the 
interface to same for non-widget-set depending stuff (TTimer, inter 
Process Messaging, you name it) ) is currently not centralized, but 
needs to be re-implemented with each new widget type.

The form designer supposedly would need to use the "design mediator" API.
