>> The Lazarus toolbar does not refresh, only when he mouse over the toolbar.
this question?
answer: contrariwise (otherwise)
- after start lazarus - active "standart elements" (TMainMenu, TPopupMenu...)
- components will not traced (not drown, void surface of components)
- when you spend your mouse over the elements - they are drawn (drawn-updated component only under the mouse instead of the whole palette immediately)
- if you switch to another palette and back - all elements redrawn and then drawing in the norm
