Solved Strange button shadow

[Babycat]

Hi Everyone

When navigating through records, the button Close is appeared with strange bold shadow. When I move cursor to this button, the shadow disappeared.
Other buttons have no problem at all.

I am using O365 64bit, window 10 Pro (19044.1348)

I attached sample db, please help to take a look and advise

If you look at the properties of command buttons, they have TWO sets of properties regarding their appearance.

CommandButton object (Access)

Office VBA reference topic

docs.microsoft.com

See all of the properties that start with "Pressed" - but also consider that if you use "system themes" you can get oddball effects that don't seem to match the settings of other controls. There, you are looking at WINDOWS control styles, not Access control styles. In the format properties for that button, you have chosen "Use Theme=Yes" and you have also set a different setting ("Quick Style") for the Back Color, Border Color, Pressed Color, and Hover Color for the Close button. The other buttons aren't set that way so apparently don't bother you in their appearance.

You had applied a drop shadow to the button. In design view, click the button then go to Format...Shape Effects ...Shadow & click No Shadow
I've already done that for you - see attached

BTW do you really need all those images in the image library. They are massively bloating your database

Thank Doc_Man

Yes, that Close button was set with "Quick Style". The preset formats are nice, but it seems I have to get rid of them

Yes, much appreciated the issue is gone.
About the images in gallery, some of them are still used by other forms, but some are not. I really forgot which one is using because they migh be similar name.
Is there any way to check and remove unused images?

Probably... but it might be easier to do one or more of the following in turn.
After each step, check all forms work then compact. Note effect on file size
1. Remove all the duplicate images e.g. you have multiple add to cart and calendar images.
Anything with a number prefix such as 1_ is likely to be a duplicate
2. Make a note of which images you have now, save a copy in an Images folder with your app, then delete all of them.
Go through each form in turn and reinsert images but using the external source rather than the image library

Have fun

Thank bro, let me manually check and remove them as per your suggestion.
