Is this a setting on my MacBook Pro that is wrong or a limitation of the emulation skin software? T‌his is not a moan, and I must thank the developer for all the hard work done so far.‌‌ Hi - the rendering doesn't have 'anti-aliasing' so can look a bit like how you describe. ‌The image below shows Mac (Wineskin) version on the left, and Windows 10 on the right: ‌ ‌

Is this a known problem? Using OSX 10.13.2 High Sierra on MacBook Air. Thanks and thanks for creating SkyD on a MAC! ‌ Unfortunately, yes, this seems to be a Wineskin bug in High Sierra. There is sort of a work around .... if you select SkyDemon from the dock, somewhere on the screen you should see a small title bar saying "SkyDemon Plan" .... if you double click on this, it should restore the window .... see example: ‌ ‌‌‌
