The discussion revolves around a user experiencing issues with the appearance of windows in Visual Studio 2022 on Windows 10, specifically noting that the windows do not look as expected.

Embarrassed having to ask: My windows in VS 2022 (on W10) look like

Form1a.webp


when I would like them to look like

Form1.webp


and I can't *&*&* find what caused it and how to get back

Any suggestions where to look ?

You have the form border style set to single. Try other settings.

Thanks for replying. But it's not that easy:

Only one that gives a different picture is "None" (which does what it should do).

Huh. Well, I'm out of ideas, other than perhaps re-installing VS.
 
Hesitating to do that -- afraid of making things worse -- but probably the only way out.

Funny to see that MDI child windows look as expected, but the parent window doesn't:

formborderstyle of normal windows do follow Sizable/Fixed expectations; only the looks are wrong.

Oh, well...

[edit] No reason to be so pessimistic: download and install over 200 GB in half an hour. But the problem remains as it was... :frown:

[more edit] copy the .exe, .dll, .pdb, deps.json and runtimeconfig.json to another PC and install runtime .Net 8.0 there: still problem !

SO you think the problem sits inside one of those five files.
However: running a .exe from an old project that used to look OK also has the problem.
Makes you think the problem does NOT sit inside one of those five files.

Tried .NET 7 but no difference.

Flabberghasting ! Where to look now ?

Thread 'Is this public key encryption?'
I've tried to intuit public key encryption but never quite managed. But this seems to wrap it up in a bow. This seems to be a very elegant way of transmitting a message publicly that only the sender and receiver can decipher. Is this how PKE works? No, it cant be. In the above case, the requester knows the target's "secret" key - because they have his ID, and therefore knows his birthdate.
Dear Peeps I have posted a few questions about programing on this sectio of the PF forum. I want to ask you veterans how you folks learn program in assembly and about computer architecture for the x86 family. In addition to finish learning C, I am also reading the book From bits to Gates to C and Beyond. In the book, it uses the mini LC3 assembly language. I also have books on assembly programming and computer architecture. The few famous ones i have are Computer Organization and...
I tried a web search "the loss of programming ", and found an article saying that all aspects of writing, developing, and testing software programs will one day all be handled through artificial intelligence. One must wonder then, who is responsible. WHO is responsible for any problems, bugs, deficiencies, or whatever malfunctions which the programs make their users endure? Things may work wrong however the "wrong" happens. AI needs to fix the problems for the users. Any way to...
