Is it possible to design fpGUI apps with the same trick as he KOL
package?
I read some more on KOL at [http://kolmck.net/]. As I understand
it,
it's a miniture GUI toolkit used instead of VCL (under Delphi).
fpGUI
is small, but not as small as KOL (their example showing 20k
executables). For example the fpGUI Visual Form Designer (which
uses
all available fpGUI components) is 600kb in size (debug information
stipped). So yes, it's much smaller that LCL in that sense
As for the "same trick as KOL package" statement - could you
explain
this further?
Read more about it in this thread:

KOL has separate library of mirror classes named MCK. MCK installed
into Lazarus as package. MCK components are regular visual or
non-visual LCL components which have the same properties as
corresponding KOL components. You can design your application using
Lazarus IDE and MCK components, but as result you get pure KOL project
which not depends on LCL and even SysUtils and Classes.
MCK library works as IDE expert and modifies form's unit code on fly
by inserting needed defines and other modifications. It also generates
runtime form creation using code and KOL controls. Form streaming and
RTTI are not used at all.
It is better to install KOL-CE into Lazarus to see how it works...
