After updating to Windows 10 I notice that the borders of control buttons are now unusually thick and I see no way to make them thin again. This seems to be true in running Personal and in my project. (I am running a demo version of NG on my home windows 10 machine.)
August 16, 2016 at 8:51 pm #3410MichaelKeymasterSIMPOL inherits the Windows theme look and feel, so it may be that this is literally down to that. You might be able to adjust it by fiddling with the theme settings.
August 17, 2016 at 4:24 am #3411jaszczakParticipantI think something else is going on. If I execute the project through the IDE the buttons all look fine. However, they do not look right when I execute the program by running the .smp file. Please compare the proper appearance in the image at left with the undesirable look on the right.

You can easily test this. Bring up your program, then go to the Start menu, Settings->Personalization->Themes->Theme settings and then click on some of the different themes (easiest is to try the high contrast white). Don’t apply, just click on them and they will change (and so will the elements on the form).
August 19, 2016 at 1:44 pm #3414jaszczakParticipantThanks Neil. I suspect that this inconsistency isn’t what you’d like to see in the applications though.
The High Contrast (Black) theme makes the project look like we had originally designed it to look. Unfortunately much of the rest of my desktop is not as attractive as in the default theme, and Photoshop doesn’t show my images in the High Contrast theme. Switching themes back and forth doesn’t seem a very good option.
