It seems that the appearance of the UltraCheckEditor changes Windows versions (probably checkboxes in general). In Windows Server 2016 the check (not sure how to call it in English, but it's the V inside the box) appears as bold. In a later Windows version it appears as non-bold.
Unfortunately I cannot find anything about how to change this in Windows. As an alternative I was wondering if it would be possible to change this specific style (a bold 'check') programmatically because I want the bold version.The regular and bold version look like this:
Any suggestions?
Hello Alex,
Thank you for the post. Unfortunately your attachment dint come through . Although looking at the UltraCheckEditor API I don’t see any property which can change the appearance based on the window version. Here is the API link for you to have a look.

May be you have applied any isl file causing this behavior , or ultracheckeditor style?
Try to isolate the behavior and narrow down the code to see if you can find something.
Thank you for your reply. I already did a search for an isl file, but then came to the conclusion it's probably the result of switching Windows versions. In the Windows file explorer you can also activate checkboxes which look different between different Windows verions.
Unfortunately all properties of the UltraCheckEditor seem to affect the label, but not the check itself. I just found out that setting UseOSThemes to false on the UltraCheckEditor results in the check being bold. But unfortunately the check itself is then much smaller. So maybe I can extent my question to if it is possible to make the check bigger (while setting UseOSThemes to false). The ultimate goal is to have a more clearer view on which checkboxes are checked in a grid (there are several columns with checkboxes).
Can you Try this :
this.ultraCheckEditor1.Appearance.ThemedElementAlpha = Infragistics.Win.Alpha.Transparent;
This doc has more detailed information , see if that helped.
Thanks. It has the same effect as setting the UseOSThemes to false: bold but smaller. But I will see if I can work with this...
