I switched to dark mode (under Win7) to see what's all the fuss about, and here's what i saw: https://imgur.com/a/VSkumhP
A minor height difference between the buttons and the comboboxes. When DPI is increased though (to 120 for example), this minor difference is more visible and much uglier.
Of course the difference is there, regardless of whether you use dark mode or any other...

Re: Dark mode reveals visual difference
Unfortunately this cannot be fixed easily, because of Windows themes: Depending on the theme, there is sometimes a shadow below the button, sometimes not. It's impossible to size the buttons so they are correct with all themes. I could write code to manually place separately for each theme on XP, Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8.x, and Windows 10 plus dark mode. This would be a LOT of work because there are a lot of buttons, and I would probably miss quite a few. Also the user could install a custom theme which would break it all again.

Re: Dark mode reveals visual difference
Hi Christian.
I have the default Win7 theme but i noticed it in the dark theme, in the normal theme it's not that easy to notice. In any case, i understand the problem so if you feel it's not something easy, never mind. It's just a minor visual annoyance, barely noticeable (in normal DPI at least).
