I have not made that change yet, i have a whole bunch of AutoRezize and Expand properties to set on various panels and controls , one magical combination will make it all perfect ,,, the quest for the magical combination continues...

BTW; the bug you said about the button bg colour changing wrong i thought i fixed in the last version. seems to work as expected on everything but 3.12 qt where it only changes the bg colour if it's not checked. ??
I'm just glad i could hack my gambas to show the controls properly in the IDE as well as runtime as this helps a lot with getting the look right.
I've added a bit to the preferences dialog to load custom controls when gambas starts so then it can display them in the form designer.
check it out.. you can see the form designer behind the prefs window showing the tickboxes just fine
