Yes, the theme was the culprit I switched the theme yesterday to see if/how “off” the dialogs were - and forgot about that today.

So, yes, this is going to be the next issue on how to integrate styles because we don’t really do strange things - I pushed my branch now to https://github.com/icsharpcode/ILSpy/tree/netsparkleupdater (MainWindow.xml.cs has the code I was talking about all the time)

Theme switching: View / Theme > … Manual update check: Help / Check for updates - I wedged NetSparkle in there in addition to the existing check to force the dialog for repetitive testing
