The Weird and The Wonderful

   

The Weird and The Wonderful forum is a place to post Coding Horrors, Worst Practices, and the occasional flash of brilliance.

We all come across code that simply boggles the mind. Lazy kludges, embarrassing mistakes, horrid workarounds and developers just not quite getting it. And then somedays we come across - or write - the truly sublime.

Post your Best, your worst, and your most interesting. But please - no programming questions . This forum is purely for amusement and discussions on code snippets. All actual programming questions will be removed.

GeneralBoth Weird & Wonderful - a W10 Surprise Pin

I occasionally use an old image processing program from 1999 mostly because I like its JPEG encoder. It has been a headache to make it run compatibly with W10. On this machine it works fine but not on my other one. For giggles, I tried it in Windows XP SP3 compatbility mode and this is how it appeared : https://i35.servimg.com/u/f35/17/98/38/10/pixwiz10.png[^]

My jaw bounced off the desk as I wondered what in the wide world of sports made that happen?

I have messed around a little on this machine and I can't make it happen but it does on the other one it does with the compatibility setting. They are both on update 1909. Does anyone know what enables this appearance?

This was actually a very welcome surprise because I detest the W10 GUI style and I was not aware this was possible. I intend to look into it some more.
