No
I have attached two screenshots, one taken on Windows 10 and the other on Windows XP. On Windows XP their background is covered in black. Judging by the looks of it could be an issue with the alpha channel.
Also not sure if bug, but on the Windows XP screenshot the labels "Management" in the projects tab and "Logs & others" at the logs tab are not displayed.
Hi, thanks for the report.
I'm not sure, but my guess is that no C::B devs are using Windows XP as their PC. This is a 32bit Windows version, right? So, I think it will be hard to debug such issue.
If others would like to reproduce this issue, they should know which version of wxWidgets do you use, which version of C::B do you use, which compiler suite do you use to build the final C::B running on Windows XP.
Indeed it looks like the developers have not been using Windows XP for a while, looking at the forums I see that problems started to show up at least as far as version 20, but I am glad that I can actually still make it work there to begin with, albeit with a few minor tweaks.
As for the details: the 32-bit version of course, the 64-bit one is a rarity as far as I understand. The OS has the service pack 3 installed, but none of the updates after that (which probably do not matter in this context). The operating system is running in virtual machines, VirtualBox and VMware, with the same result. I have tried both the version 25 and the nightly build of Code::Blocks. As for wxWidgets, whatever version comes with the release and the nightly build, I simply downloaded the compiled binaries.
I guess it could be the issue with wxWidgets themselves, have never tried this library though.
