    I'm not sure why I get this, but all forms now show a horizontal bar at the top:

    I use Delphi XE4. No special settings for AC.

    Skins from the previous version have the same problem, so it's related to AC itself.

    Same problem here, plus small boxes in form's bottom corners (at resizing corners) not drawn correctly. In previous version (10.17), no problem.

    Thanks.

    Please, describe your systems. Size of font is default or changed?

    Do you mean the form's font or the general system font?

    The default font for Delphi forms is changed to Tahoma. Font size is 8.

    I'm running on Windows 10 Pro with an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 Ti graphics card, combined with Intel HD Graphics 4000.

    I meant the general system font size. It's not changed?

    PS. ASkinDemo.exe has this problem too?

    The system font is Segui 9 pt (changing the system font in Windows 10 is almost impossible).

    The ASkinDemo.exe has exactly the same problem, when you choose “Native Borders”. Without native borders it looks OK. Meaning the ExtendedBorders property is the problem.

    I have done some tests and i discovered that apparently is related to the ExtendedBorders property and that only manifests itself in Windows 8/8.1/10. The same tests made on Windows XP/Vista/7 have shown no problem.

    System specs:

    CPU: Intel Core i5 4440

    RAM: 8GB

    Video: GeForce GTX 700

    OS: Windows 8.1 Pro 64-Bits

    System Font: Segoe UI, 9 points, 96 ppi

    All tests were made using AlphaControls 10.18 Trial, Delphi 2010 (i'm using this RAD because the small size of executable files), AlphaControls Demo and using the following fonts for main form and controls:

    – Tahoma, 8 points (used in screenshots)

    – Segoe UI, 9 points

    For the first series of tests i have compiled AlphaControls Demo, then i have used the pre-compiled version (EXE included in the Trial package) with the same results. Final tests (5 and 6) were made with a small project created for this purpose. All skins were tested.

    Test #1: AlphaControls Demo with ExtendedBorders ON, form at default size.

    Result : No problems found.

    Test #2: AlphaControls Demo with ExtendedBorders ON, form maximized.

    Result : Black rectangle under caption bar, non-client borders glitch.

    Test #3: AlphaControls Demo with ExtendedBorders ON, form restored after maximized.

    Result : Rectangle under caption bar.

    Test #4: AlphaControls Demo with ExtendedBorders OFF, form at default size.

    Result : White rectangle under caption bar, resizing corners glitch.

    Test #5: Demo project with ExtendedBorders ON, form at default size.

    Result : No problems found.

    Test #6: Demo project with ExtendedBorders OFF, form at default size.

    I hope you find it useful.

    Thanks.

    With AC 10.19 now everything is working great.

    Thank you and congratulations for your excellent work. The best VCL skin components, no doubt.
