From the source code, the ButtonStyle has to be set to tbsDropDown.

Delphi programmer since 2001Just to let you know, this is a one-person company.
I sincerely hope he’s safe and alive too.
I don’t know if he’s participating in the war effort as a soldier or a computer scientist given his programming background (or any other way).@Sergii, wish you the best in these troubled times.

Delphi programmer since 2001I believe AlphaSkins uses some kind of caching for drawing. I think you should draw your triangle in that cache instead of directly on the button’s canvas.
Sorry I don’t have more specific details on how to implement this.Stephane Senecal

Delphi programmer since 2001I tried to reproduce with the version 17.10 of alpha skins (with Acryl skin) with Delphi 12 Athens in both 32 and 64 bit and I could not reproduce your problem.

Delphi programmer since 2001Just a thought on the matter of Delphi 7 support.
Recent versions of Delphi already have a skinning engine contrary to Delphi 7.
I think that you might have a greater customer base on versions of Delphi that does not already have a skinning engine.Maybe a survey with your customers on which version of Delphi they use could be a good idea.

Delphi programmer since 2001In regards with the design screwed up, a screenshot might help to understand which part is not rendered correctly.

Delphi programmer since 2001If you are a business, you do not have the rights to use the community version. We learned that the hard way. Embarcadero sued us for that.

Delphi programmer since 2001From Delphi:
For a ShellTreeView it is Path.
For a ShellListVew it is Root.I don’t know if they work the same in C++ but it’s a good starting point.
And btw, those components are the same as TShellTreeView and TShellListView. The only difference for AlphaSkins’ one is that they are skinned. You can search the whole web, not just AlphaSkins’ forums for that kind of problems.

Delphi programmer since 2001I think what Support(Serge) meant is that you can start with Windows 11 Light skin and modify it to your liking.

Delphi programmer since 2001I have tried to reproduce in a small project, but I couldn’t reproduce the behavior of the demo app. I suppose it’s a bad build of the demo app.

Delphi programmer since 2001Doesn’t seems to be fixed in your demo app. I don’t know if it’s a bad build. (version 16.21)

Delphi programmer since 2001Ok, thanks.
Modernizing all skins must have been a pain for you!
I always wondered how you manage to keep up with all those skins.
I only have 1 and it is quite a job to modify it.Stephane Senecal

Delphi programmer since 2001I’ve attached a sample project showing the differences between scaling up or scaling down images vs using native images.

Delphi programmer since 2001I’ve attached 2 images describing what I have (oldalpha) and what it should become (newalpha).
Note that it shouldn’t be bigger. Only that the mask from the oldalpha be merge into the alpha channel of the png.
