Further to this, I’m running the Megademo at 200% and these same arrows scale as expected. That at least is a help to know. I will look next at my skin file to see if something is wrong with it.

Thanks, I really appreciate your help but I’m just not getting it yet.

1. I’m using the latest version of TsTreeView with Delphi 11.3. I only use the original Windows light mode and have not begun to think about dark mode yet. It just happens that the skin I am using is light text on a dark background and looks like dark mode maybe.

2. At 100% Windows font size, the treeview arrows are small but acceptable. At higher Windows font sizes the arrows are not scaled up and become too small to notice. This is my core problem.

I’m not seeing how VirtualTreeView or Windows dark mode fit into this. I have very little desire to try and figure out how AlphaSkins works or modify it. I was hoping that there was a setting somewhere that I was not aware of (it happens) but I’m gathering that is not the case.

Thanks, Lasse; like I said, I really appreciate your help.

Thanks for the tip but I cannot get it to work. I’ll have to live with it for a bit longer I guess.

Thanks though, I really appreciate the help.

I’m still stuck on this problem. Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks, Rob C

sSelectorComboBox.pas seems to be missing. i’m trying to compile the Yukon files above for the D12 release today and getting blocked on this.

If I delete the reference to that file though it then compiles. Some exciting new component is in the works?

Thanks, Rob C

I was able to get it to work eventually but I’m not sure exactly what was fixed by me in the code. Usually, I know, but not this time. I’m happy to report there is not a problem with AC though.

Thanks, Kevin, for your reply!

Holy doodle! That one change appears to have fixed it! My program is now running with Delphi 11.3 and I see my small issue (button captions are showing in black initially instead of the yellow color they should be using) the program appears to be good and running.

Thanks, Lasse, you have saved me literally hours of time – the most precious thing in the world.

I’m still hoping that the AlphaControls developer is alive and well too btw.

Cool! I will check out ASLR this weekend. Thanks for the tip – I am truly thankful for your help.

I looked in Troubleshooting and found the post that the new ZLib for 64-bit has a problem with AlphaControls and that alternative ZLib libraries work. I tried that but still have the same problem.

It made me wonder though if a compiler setting, or some such thing, changed from 11.0 to 11.1 and that is the problem. If only I had more time to troubleshoot this myself I could start to make progress but I just don’t have the time. I’ve made a start to at least define my problem and where it appears. The fact that others can get AC to work in 64-bits with Delphi 11.2 and 11.3 now gives me comfort that it can be done. I just need more time….

Thanks Lasse for the suggestion!

OK, checking “Enable Runtime Themes” seemed to fix the problem for me. Is this the correct answer? I ask only because I ended up poking things at random until something worked and that is not always the best way to go, lol.

Cheers, Rob C

Thank you for the speedy reply! That gives me something to Google now.

I was doing some tests this morning and found that the behaviour changed from 15.13 to 15.14. Up to ver 15.13 there was no flicker, after 15.14 it flickers for me.

I will read up on manifests now!

Thanks again, Rob C
