OK, I grant you that I formulated this rather poorly... But nevertheless, I do not know how to test Lazarus on an RPi3 (or RPi2) with the Raspbian distribution using anything but what the distribution provides. So therefore I failed to get the connection between Lazarus and LXDE.... I have located the release document for Raspbian Jessie here: https://www.raspberrypi.org/blog/raspbian-jessie-is-here/ A little bit down they write the following: <quote>the appearance of Raspbian is now based on version 3 of GTK+, the user interface toolkit used for the LXDE desktop environment. The older version 2 of GTK+ is slowly being replaced with version 3 </quote> If this means that Raspbian is using LXDE is beyond me but it seems like it is using gtk3 by this wording. When I try to find a gtk3 setting inside Lazarus I only do so in the dialog Tools/Configure_BuildLazarus, where it is contained in a dropdown box labelled "LCL widget type" and named "gtk3 (alpha)". There seems to be no way to build an *application* with gtk3 without rebuilding the whole Lazarus environment first, is this the case? PS: I only started writing in this thread because I also fond the same behaviour as the original poster did and it seemed like that report was shunned as being bogus. So I wanted to chip in with my observations to help *the developers* to nail down and fix the problem, but now I find I am being flamed for doing so so I will stop this. I did not originate the thread.
