We have implemented the functionality described in this ticket. It will be included in our next update(s).

Please check back and leave a comment to this response to let us know whether or not this solution addresses your concerns.

Additional information:

With VCL 13.1, we introduced a number of control UI improvements designed to enhance the touch experience for our VCL controls, and made it easy to enable these improvements in your application. The improvements include touch-friendly sizes of UI elements and their touchable areas, adjusted text alignment settings, and other control-specific enhancements. You can easily toggle the Touch mode (using the corresponding option in a look and feel controller or skin controller) and customize the minimum square size of a touchable element (via the cxTouchElementMinSize global constant declared within the cxLookAndFeelPainters unit). Note that a standalone ExpressEditor located in a layout control is automatically resized in Touch mode, provided that the editor AutoSize property is set to True.
You can run the following demos to see the new mode in action:
 - The demos shipped with the ExpressQuantumGrid Suite (toggle the corresponding option provided by the Options located within the main menu);
 - The RibbonNotepadDemo shipped with the ExpressBars Suite (toggle the corresponding button located in the Ribbon Quick Access Toolbar).
IMPORTANT NOTE: The new functionality introduces some alignment-specific breaking changes. Please refer to this page to learn about them.

        Hello,
        It seems like an URL is cropped as it should refer to this blog post. Good catch, Vladimir. Thank you. We'll try to fix it as soon as possible.
