Window close button

Not sure if it's a bug with VNW but when you move the mouse to close window over the X the button flickers red instead of being solid red when over that button like normal windows behave.

Another thing is when using either the default vnw icon or custom icons to display in the window bar they are alway blurry. Might have something to do with dpi or what not but that is something hopefully can be fixed.

Does not look good when publishing/compiling your app.

@krakerman I can't reproduce the problem here

How are you generating the .ico files? This kind of files can store different versions of the same icon with more or less colors and resolution. It's very important to add high resolution versions. I usually use IcoFX.

Hi Luishp,

Yeah I use IcoFX as well very nice program but will see possibly wasn't a high-res icon like you said might of been something I did as far as the close button does it even on the main VNW program very strange. The button works just weird that it doesn't stay lit with the mouse over it it just flickers briefly when moving the mouse over that button.

Other than these few things I truly can't say enough good things about VNW. Hopefully there will be more updates to this program to come adding new features ect ect.

@krakerman

Can you make a short video to show the problem?

I have attached a short video you can see when I move mouse over the close button what happening like I described this happend on published/compiled apps as well using VNW.

Windows version: Windows 10 Pro 21H2

Desktop-Resolution: 3840x2160

Do you use desktop scaling? Yes using a 55" 4k LG OLED set at 225%

 

Hello,

I think the flickering of the close-button is related to the scaling.

I tried it on an aged laptop with WIN10.

There I can set only 100%+125%.

On 100% the close button is constantly red when mouse-over it.

On 125% the close button is flickering between grey and red when mouse-over it.

So seems like your description.

But then does MS a bad job on scaling.

Not sure if anything can be done by a developer.

I understand but why do all my other programs not have that issue.

@krakerman

Have you tried uninstalling all plugins and add-ons?

It's done this since the beginning before ever installing any plugin so there is that.

Hello,

I understand but why do all my other programs not have that issue.

Good question, How are all other programs compiled? Visual Studio C, C#, etc. ?

We should first have a test with plain delphi compiled software.

And with different delphi generations. D7 until now.

The used delphi7 compiler was developed long time before Windows 10 GUI was developed.

I mean just run any other program like Google Chrome, Outlook, Windows Explorer, List goes on and on ... even AHK creating GUI's using that work just fine.

It may just be Delphi dunno all I am saying what I observe and notice happening. Thought I would report it. Is what it is everything works ok just strange behavior is all.

Fyi ... Things I created with Pure Basic work fine and don't have that happening.
