Hi, I don't know if you'll be able to help me, but I can't figure out why my form is displayed as in the screen shot below.

[attachment=9340:Screenshot.png]

It is in Delphi 7 with AlphaSkins 14.26 on Windows 10.

I have a VM with the same specs and the form is drawn correctly.

So, I believe the problem is on my side, but I don't know what to look for.

I noticed that the value returned by GetSystemMetrics(SM_CXSIZEFRAME) is different when debugging vs not.

It returns 4 when debugging and 8 when not debugging.

When not debugging the form draws correctly.

Hello

Maybe manifest has influence to mode of the application work?

Can you try to make a new project and check how it work there?

Also, try to add “XPMan” to the “uses” clause if not added.

I'm not quite sure what changed (a reboot perhaps), but I do not have the problem anymore. Mysteries of Windows.
