thanks for the responses. I have tried numerous combinations and examples. What i understood was that there are issues with scaling GUI applications built with delphi. It even gets bigger and worsened when using alpha controls.
1. this is how standard dephi control look like when built with delphi xe 10
2. the same GUI apps is added with skinning – not much issues
3. Same GUI app created with alphacontrols
4. Same app (in #3) with skinning disabled but uses alpha controls
