Derek, I thought I might have mentioned this one earlier when XP first came out. I saw this issue but I think only when using fancy XP shell (as opposed to "Windows Classic" theme). Anyway, I'm not seeing this using 0.57.9 and if I come across any old emails regarding it I'll let you know. My guess is that he's using an older version of the lib... -- Brian Derek Parnell wrote: > Hi Philip, > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Philip D." <philip1987 at hotmail.com> > To: "EUforum" <EUforum at topica.com> > Sent: Tuesday, December 24, 2002 2:06 AM > Subject: I need help. > > > > I am almost done with a game I am programming.

Usually it goes away just by forcing a redraw (minimize, maximize) but not always and happens most often in programs with "grabbable" toolbars that are docked at the top...

I remember telling people about this perhaps a few months ago, and nobody believed me. It's almost 3 AM, and about to head off to bed, so I'm going to be brief. On my XP Home system, I noticed a one pixel line just under the menu bar that stretches from one side of the window to the other, inside the Windows-drawn border. Without any menus, it works fine. I have not tried it with different themes, so I can't say if it's a specific problem with frames that are not the same size as those of older Windows versions. A while back I tried using code to draw a line on that portion of the window. I can't remember if I was ever successful, but I don't think I was. It's worth a shot, for those of you who are having this issue.. Good night everybody! ~!tar!~
