1. Most of OSX controls are using transperancy (i.e. panel or group box). These designer "double dots" are caused by this. The IDE designer always draw grid dots (based on controls client rectangle). Since control is transperent you can see dots drawn on its parent. May be it looks strange, but It doesn't hurt the development. Tthe final application would not have this grid dots. 2. Font size is different for both system. There's no proper "aligner" developed for the IDE or LCL, to align controls properly. So the inteface would look like a candy. In my apps i'm doing this re-aligment manually on the application start. Is there anything else, i've missed in these screenshots? Don't hesitate to ask any questions about Lazarus and LCL here or on the forum, especially regarding cross-platform issues. Other developers might find your experience useful. thanks, dmitry -- _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
