olavrb Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 (edited) Hi! Let me start by saying that I LOVE the new black theme! But it has a little bug: When the Paint.NET window is not active, some places turn white. See this screenshot: - This happens on both of my laptops, both running Windows 10 1709 16299.192 en_US. One 'Pro' and one 'Pro for Workstation'. - Happens both with theme set to auto, and dark. - Windows theme is set to dark. - Happens regardless of the "Show accent color on the following surfaces: Title bars" setting.

Rick Brewster Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Did you just recently turn on the "show accent colors on: title bars" setting in Windows? If so, this will likely go away the next time you ... I think it goes away when you restart, or logout/login, or maybe even just when you restart the app. (I forget which). This isn't actually a new bug.

This isn't actually a new bug. No, I did not recently turn on that setting. There have been several restarts of my Windows laptop since I reported this, and the issue is still present. Also, it happens on both my laptops, so I think it's not a isolated case. Happens with v4.0.21 too (nothing regarding this in the changelog, but thought I should mention it) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Brewster Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 No, this is a different visual glitch. I think I've seen this though. Try going into the Windows theme settings again and "jiggle the handle." That is, change your settings to something else and then back again. Do this for the window color, and also for the "show accent color on: title bars" setting. Sometimes this glitch happens with a fresh install or a freshly upgraded install of Windows 10. I think.

Special Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 For what its worth, I'm getting the same thing as olavrb so he's not alone, but you know, first world problems, kinda minor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Brewster Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 What exactly are your Theme settings in Windows? Did you use any utility to "hack" the color values? I got another report from someone who said they used a registry editor or something so they could specify a true black #000000 color Quote The Paint.NET Blog: https://blog.getpaint.net/ Donations are always appreciated! https://www.getpaint.net/donate.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 I use no sort of hack or registry editing. Just whatever is provided in the Windows Personalization Panel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Brewster Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Okay but what are the settings that you used Quote The Paint.NET Blog: https://blog.getpaint.net/ Donations are always appreciated! https://www.getpaint.net/donate.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swankyfrank Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Also if you click on your desktop, 'remove focus from the program' the title bar changes to white, not getting a snip of that though. I don't see mine as a bug. swankyfrank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Brewster Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 "Remove focus from the program" ? I've never heard of that setting.

Same thing. He's saying, open paint.net and make the window not cover the entire screen. Then, click on the desktop so that paint.net is no longer the active program. When you do that, the top bar turns a stark white. I really don't think it is a paint.net problem as Chrome does the same thing.

Rick Brewster Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 The title bar is supposed to turn white when the window is inactive. That's just what Windows does for non-UWP windows.
