All borders are missing
Titletext is light grey and shown on a white background

DEFINE WINDOW oWndMain FROM 5, 5 TO 450, 600 PIXEL ;
TITLE SPACE(50) + cPaintTitle MENU TMenu():New() ; // defined spaces to force a centered title
STYLE nOr( WS_CAPTION, WS_THICKFRAME ) // IGNORED !!!

Hi there...

If i'm not wrong the Windows UI API has changed quite a lot.

Take for example a look at those links:

Uwe,

Your example is working fine here on Windows 10.

Please notice that the Windows border in Windows 10 looks like this and yours:

Antonio,

thank You very much

It means a centered title I have to force with left spaces
and the title-background will stay white with NO possible border

best regards

I used this theme during the preview program and it restores the Win 8 Aero theme which changes the washed out frames. Save the file and call it AeroLite.theme. Copy the file to \windows\resources\themes. It will then show up under your themes and you can chose it from the themes preference. This theme has limitations and you have to modify it to point to your favorite desktop background.

Rick,

thank You very much
I didn' t think about changing themes as a solution.
I've been just surprised, doing tests after the update.
Now I got back the lightblue headline.
Maybe I can get back the thick frame as well.

Now captured metro-buttons are displayed with a white border.
It would be nice, to have the same effect in my new Metro-app.



best regards
Uwe
