Hello,

 
When I upgrade from version 2019 to 2033 the UI has changed for all controls. Is there an easy way to get the old look and feel back? I think I did a fix when I upgrade to 2019 but I have forgot how I did it.
 
 
Version 2019
 
Version 2022
 
Regards,
Johan

You can check "Windows classic style" in the project build options. At least you can in 2019, I don't have 2022 to check if it's still available.

Personally I'd rather embrace the slightly updated look instead of retaining one that went ouf of style 20+ years ago. But you do you. :)

Thanks, the option is working.



But didn't the GUI looked better in the old days!!

What I personally like/prefer doesn't matter in the least... but what my customers, clients and users prefer and expect matters a great deal. The trend over the last few years is towards a flatter, visually simpler and cleaner UI, and by far and away that is what my users like.

I just tried to be funny! Of course you are right, but I find it hard to convert old PB apps to look like real Window GUI standard.
