Package grid

On the top-right corner of each package icon, a smaller icon shows the languages that each package supports:
  • RX 2.png Both Delphi and C++

Note: If a package is available in Delphi and C++, and the Delphi version of the package also supports C++, GetIt Package Manager displays the Delphi icon only.
