Wouldn't Delphi's "Component Template" idea solve this too? As far as I
can see Lazarus doesn't support the Component Template idea though.


eg:
In Delphi 7:
 1) Place components as you want them on a designer form.
 2) Set there properties as you want.
 3) Select all those components then select
    "Components > Create component template"
 4) Give it a name and icon. Done!


Now on the component palette under the "Templates" tab, you will have a
new component. Click and drop it on a form to reproduce all that was
done before - positioning and properties.

No need to rebuild the IDE or install custom components...
