To load a style at runtime there are several options. When you have a style file, you can either load
it via [Component].LoadSettingsFromFile

procedure TForm1.FormCreate(Sender: TObject);
begin
TMSFNCDockPanel1.LoadSettingsFromFile('TTMSFNCStyle_FNC_Default.style');
end;

TTMSFNCStyle_FNC_Default.style
The style is located in the project directory

The LoadSettingsFromFile is for individual component settings/styles, saved via SaveSettingsToFile. you cannot load a general style to a single individual component. Please use the following code:

TMSFNCStylesManager1.LoadStyleFromFile('TTMSFNCStyle_FNC_Dark.style');

This is also shown as a code snippet in the documentation.

I followed your instructions to make the best use of your components.

" To load a style at runtime there are several options. When you have a style file, you can either load

What you have suggested is a better approach.

Thanks, we'll see if we can update the documentation.
