AC29 mac Icons appear truncated

Achille Pavlidis — Thu, 06 Nov 2025 21:18:36 GMT

Hi, I recently installed AC29 (build 3100 INT FULL) on a mac mini with M2 pro and OS 13.7.8 and the icons on the elements settings appear truncated like in the screenshot

Any ideas how to fix this?

Yeah, by updating your macOS. 😅 You are four versions behind – Graphisoft only supports two back. So right now that would be 26.x and 15.x.

Well, I did update my OS to the newest version, and I still have the same problem

On other macs in the office that have the same macOS version, the problem does not appear...

Is it a dark mode issue?

That looks like you have dark mode on?

no, it's not. I tried the standard mode and it's the same

That’s a weird one. We’re using 29 on MacMinis with M2 and M4 and haven’t seen the same issue.

Do you have a non-standard screen resolution?

Wouldn't say so.

Did you find a solution to this? I just got round to updating and am having the same issue.

I have just updated everything and it seems certain element settings, and the standard toolbar are affected, others seem fine.

Hi,

When I change the mode to "Light" on system settings the images appear OK. Then I change AC work environment to match my device, turn the mode to "Dark" and the icons appear OK

But then, once I quit and reopen AC everything goes back appearing truncated...

Hi,

I have the same problem. Only solution change the monitor resolution. Graphisoft says Apple messed something up, while Apple says it was Graphisoft.

Please @karesz can you give more information?

Hi, I’ve been in contact with Graphisoft before and received this message from them:

"As previously indicated, the error can be traced back to changes in macOS.
This means it likely occurred due to changes within the development environment. The development team has not been able to clearly reproduce the error.
Unfortunately, we cannot offer a full solution to the problem at this time.
If the misaligned icons are causing significant usability issues, there are two possible workarounds:
Use a resolution where the misalignment does not occur.
Use a previous version of Archicad where the problem does not yet exist.
Of course, if we receive similar bug reports from other users and the issue becomes reproducible, the development team will fix it. Until then, we ask for your patience.
Best regards with your work!"

The funny thing is, AC28 works perfectly… so why doesn't AC29? No comment.
