I am also fighting with multicolor text in TLabels etc.
Currently I am simply painting into the form which works reasonable
(and is asonishing fast) but then I have to do all the other things like
anchoring, repainting, storing displayed text etc. myself too.
Can you name some custom drawn compontents that could
replace for example a TLabel component.

And another aim I am trying to achive is an edit compontent
with (self drawn) multi color text. Is there one?
