Fresh install of trial, first application. Immediate issue.

Hello,

I’ve just downloaded and installed the trial version of your software.

Started the first project (this is in VS 2017 Community edition)

Dropped a button, label and check box on the form. They are all showing as black on black, so rather hard to setup/use.

Running the program and things look fine, just the designer is showing the anomaly. How do i sort this?

I’ve attached a screen shot to illustrate.

Thanks

Hello,

I didn’t do anything extra to it yesterday. This morning fired it up to check the windows version etc, opened VS and low and behold its now looking correct!?!?!?!

So my thoughts on the issue, either it needed a reboot after install? Or it got confused with theme’s – i’m using light not dark VS, so not the default.

Anyway, just in case this happens again, to answer your questions above. Windows 7 Pro SP1 6.1.7601, 64 bit.

IE is version 11.0.9600.18738

And attached is a new screen shot, taken now. I added a date time picker just to check new controls were painting correctly too.

Off to try a few more things, now i can see what i’m doing 🙂

Thanks

We have seen a similar issue only once and was never able to reproduce it. From the image it looks like there is something wrong with the non-client windows message – see the form truncated at the bottom, it’s he title height which is part of the non-client area. Which makes me think this is a Windows version related issue. Can you please let me know the exact windows version and if it’s 32 or 64 bit? Also please check the exact IE version installed.

Also, can you try on a Windows 10 machine?
