This issue is a first for me. I can't figure out what is going on with Visual Studio right now...
When I build the program within the IDE (Visual Studio) everything is fine and dandy, as shown below.

But if I go and run the program from outside Visual Studio, this happens...

All of the controls are misplaced. Is Visual Studio on crack, or did I accidently do some weird setting? :confused:
(Long time user of VS 2010, so it's a somewhat strange migration...)
What operating system are you using?
Windows 7 Professional x64
Is that a Windows Theme changer? If so may be second picture was when your change the theme from what you originally has but forgot to you had changing it?
No it's not a theme changer, although I can see how you may get that from the name of the program (really need a new one...) It's actually a game launcher. I could post the project zip on here if you wish, but to my knowledge there is nothing in my code that could cause this to be happening.
Looking at the application in both images it appears to be identical apart from different border colours. If you do decide to upload the project to the forums make sure there are no compiled files such as executable files, etc in the zip folder.Quote:

And the border colours are different because I didn't have the window focused in the second screenshot, but I did in the first.
Attempting to run the project I receive the following errors
Error 12 'End Using' must be preceded by a matching 'Using'. C:\Users\User\Desktop\ThemeLauncher\ThemeLauncher\Form1.vb 301 13 ThemeLauncher
Error 11 'zip1' is not declared. It may be inaccessible due to its protection level. C:\Users\User\Desktop\ThemeLauncher\ThemeLauncher\Form1.vb 298 27 ThemeLauncher

It looks like it's due to the fact it is using a custom control. It's WatermarkTextBox. It's quite a large program.. I'm not willing to remove the references and custom controls to make it work though. Guess I'll figure it out on my own.
Seems it is caused by the FormBorderStyle setting, when I open your project form1 is set to FixedDialog and doesn't look correct at runtime or in the IDE (VS2010/ Win7 here), if I change form style to Sizeable then it looks perfect. Not sure what the right solution is tho.Quote:
