HI!
I would like to know why my application, desinged with delphi 6 running under XP, looks different in systems running Win NT 4.
I know that visual styles will change, like buttons, windows,... BUT SIZES???? :-/
It seems like the displays are running with different resolutions...

Does anybody knows what I'm talking about?

Peace,
Dani.

I know what you mean. I am sure someone has written a book on this but different screen resolutions and more so the size of the fonts used in Windows can have a dramatic effect on the visual look of the program.

I design my GUI with a VGA resolution in mind 640x480 but sometimes resort to resizing of screen elements too accomodate different resolutions. Take a look at 13-11 of the developers guide for a brief overview of resolutions and Font sizes
