Hello!

Can you give me an example where standard controls looks good, but missed up when skins added, please?

This problem is interesting and I plan to spent some time for researches soon. AlphaControls doesn't changes position or size of component byself. So, I need such examples of different work of controls with skins and without skins.

I know, this scaling problem is common for Delphi VCL, you can see some examples in the Delphi IDE even, even in easy forms (look attached screenshot).

Some additional links concerning this issue:

thanks for the responses. I have tried numerous combinations and examples. What i understood was that there are issues with scaling GUI applications built with delphi. It even gets bigger and worsened when using alpha controls.

1. this is how standard dephi control look like when built with delphi xe 10

2. the same GUI apps is added with skinning – not much issues

3. Same GUI app created with alphacontrols

4. Same app (in #3) with skinning disabled but uses alpha controls

note – all above applications are using forms default 'scaled=ture'

i just figured it out how to overcome this issue. Just disable the high DPI option in Delphi XE10! Not sure if this is an issue with Delphi xe10 or alphacontrols. Somehow it seems to be the only workaround!
