Hi!

On high resolution retina displays (2880x1800) actipro windows get a 6px wide black border around them. Also the 1px light border around the window looks a bit ugly in the top/top-left corner.

See attached screenshot:

Also checked if visual studio has this problem, but visual studio looks good:

Not a critical bug, but wanted to let you know.

Thanks!

Looks like the images I posted got really small when using the direct links. Full resolution images can be found on these links instead:

Hi Morten,

Can you supply us with exact details about your operating system and DPI and theme settings in Windows so that we can try to reproduce it?  Thanks!

Odd, I tried it with Windows 7 Aero, 100% DPI and it looked ok for me.  Are you sure you're on the latest version?

Yes, I'm using the latest version, but turns out I was wrong about the DPI setting.

Tried it on the MacBook Pro again today and I can see it happen with 150% DPI and with all resolutions I've tried (2880x1800, 1920x1200, 1920x1080, etc)

On 100% DPI it looks good in all resolutions.

 

Sorry for the mistake, just thought I tried both DPI settings. :)
I don't use this computer regularly and it was set at 150% DPI when I got it. I remember trying to change the setting to 100%, but probably cancelled that the last time I tried because windows makes you log off when changing it.

Hi Morten,

Thanks for reporting this, I believe we've tweaked it to fix the problem for the upcoming maintenance release in a couple weeks.
