Sad news!
Could you show a minimal piece of code on Delphi which gives the same error?
Hi Niyaz,
sorry - although I?m programming myself in Delphi (among others), but I?ve never written any graphics application in this language (and of course no chess GUI at all), so I can?t give you any concrete code examples.
But these display problems occur only on programs written in Borland languages (Delphi, C++) - and they even happen in the Delphi-IDE itself: here the small icons in the menu area are not displayed correctly!
It must have to to something with displaying small graphic areas (icons), because only these are affected by this error: e.g. in the 2 mentioned programs above (Smirf-GUI, RD-Chess) only menu icons and board squares with pieces are unreadable - the rest of the screen is ok.

Franz.
