[Bug] GUI is messed up

[Unknown78]

Operating System

Windows

What's the issue you encountered?

The GUI elements appears to be misaligned.
However, the mechanics such as click or drag is in the original correct position.
So for example, if I want to click the exit button, then I need to hover it to the top right corner instead of the rendered one.

How can the issue be reproduced?

Just run imhex-gui.exe

ImHex Version

1.33.2

ImHex Build Type

• Nightly or built from sources

Installation type

imhex-1.33.2-Windows-Portable-x86_64.zip

Additional context?

• OS: Windows 11 Pro for Workstations x64 23H2 v10.0.22631.3296
• CPU: Intel Core i3-2310M
• GPU: Intel HD Graphics 3000
• GPU Drivers: https://winraid.level1techs.com/t/get-your-intel-hd3000-sandy-bridge-windows-10-64bit-drivers-here/40044

Pay attention that with the unofficial drivers, it supports 100% up to OpenGL 3.1 instead of the default Microsoft GDI Generic renderer that is OpenGL 1.1.

Do you have any other solution other than the one in #442 ?

UPDATE

Even better solutions if this is your first portable installation/extraction

1. Run imhex-gui.exe, then Close Window or End Task of it from the Taskbar.
2. Go to the config directory and open settings.json
3. Find "hex.builtin.setting.interface.native_window_decorations" and change the false to true
4. Run imhex-gui.exe again.
5. Enjoy.

ImHex needs to be launched for the first time in order for it to create the settings.json file that we can edit.

I've just found the workaround.
It's rather annoying to find it, but hey it's working.

Extras > Settings > Interface > Window > Check Use OS Window Decorations
And then restart the program.
You don't need to click the exit button x and then click Yes to restart it within the program, just End Task within the Taskbar and then run it again shall suffice.

Will there be any negative impact if Use OS Window decorations is enabled?

I can verify that Extras > Settings > Interface > Window > Check Use OS Window Decorations > Restart the program from the task bar solves the issue. Should probably make this default.

NB. When clicking the above options, ignore your mouse pointer, and watch for options to highlight when you are "near" the option.

It used to be auto disabled on Intel GPUs because it's exclusively an issue with their driver. I rather improve the detection than just having it turned off by default because it works without issues in almost all cases.

[Unknown78]

@WerWolv By auto disabled, do you mean that by default the value of native_window_decorations was true or false?

Thanks @Unknown78, it does the job 👍
