    Hi

    My app is a single-document interface app. All the TForms used within are opened as child windows.

    The trouble is with the borders. The borders shown are TForm borders, and in some themes these are quite thick and make the application look heavy and ugly.

    Is there a way for child windows I can see: 'don't draw a border'. I've been looking into this for hours and have not yet found a way.

    Cheers, Pete.

    Use frames instead of forms. Much easier to handle in a complex application IMO.

    Hi Uwe

    Thanks for the reply, but I'm porting a large application. I think changing to frames is something I cannot do.

    Pete.

    Hello!

    Try to place the TsSkinProvider component and change SkinData.SkinSection to 'CHECKBOX' there.

    (Or to 'TRANSPARENT' if you uses version 9).

    I hope, I understood your question correctly. If not, then show a screenshot or a demo, please.
