Hi

we are developing a skinned application, and under vista/windows 7, on some machines, skinned applications sometimes loses their skin. here's an example for the problem, and here's how the application looks when it's good.

this happens to us whether we develop with native Win32 API or in QT. It happens spontanously, with no event that might explain it. btw, we see it happens sometimes to some other applications, too

we solve it by repainting everything every 2-3 seconds. but this is an ugly hack...

any ideas why this could happen?

thanks _very_much_ for any lead -

Lior
