The text is not completely visible with the option enabled.
Your create a StringGadget with a high of 14, what you are expecting?
Normal high of controls are at lest 20.

Yes you can clearly saw in the first pic than your text is already bigger than the textgadget() (but not clipped, but it's a Windows thing).

Ok, got it. The layout of my application is a little bit condensed.
Any idea to solve the problem with the flickering tooltip, when text scaling is not 100% in Win10 ?

I use this test-code:
Code: Select all
OpenWindow(0, 50, 50, 600, 400, "Test")
SpinGadget(10,20,20,60,20,0,100,#PB_Spin_Numeric|#ES_RIGHT)
SetGadgetState(10,33)
GadgetToolTip(10,"ToolTip SpinGadget")
CheckBoxGadget(20,20,50,100,20,"CheckBoxGadget")
GadgetToolTip(20,"ToolTip CheckBoxGadget")
StringGadget(30,20,80,120,14,"Test")
GadgetToolTip(30,"ToolTip StringGadget")
Repeat
EventID = WaitWindowEvent(1)
Until EventID = #PB_Event_CloseWindow
CloseWindow(0)
I made 2 videos:
Screen is on 100% scale:

Screen is on 200% scale:
https://www.beathis.ch/r/screen_200.mp4 ToolTip flickers on SpinGadget and StringGadget

It looks like a Windows issue.
Anyway, you should always use modern skin support if you target modern OS because it links to a more modern CommonControl DLL which takes in account all new fetaures like HiDPI. I even think to remove the flag now, because it's nearly useless. Out of curiosity, why do you to disable it ?

One major reason I discovered in practice is to be able to properly use pictures drawn with PB's image Library with
ButtonImageGadget()
I have prepared a nice picture showing side by side the differences with "
Modern Theme" enabled or not, but, for the life of me, i can't figure out how to include a picture from my Google Photo account into this post.
Well I finally figured a way around it...
