Messagebox customization is not shown correctly

Time ago I've taken this code of @Hans Passant to make some modifications, all works fine but now I've noticed that the custom messagebox is not shown properly.

This is how its shown a normal messagebox with my custom windows theme: enter image description here

And this else is how its shown the custom messagebox: enter image description here

As you can see the darkened bottom layer in the custom messagebox is not properly alligned or resized or I don't know.

How I can fix this issue?, this is the full code:

' Using New CenteredMessageBox(Me, New Font(New FontFamily("Lucida Console"), Font.SizeInPoints, FontStyle.Bold))
'     MessageBox.Show("Test Text", "Test Title", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Information)

It looks like the code to resize the text label is causing the problem

        ' Resize the MessageBox Text Label
        If mFont IsNot Nothing Then
            SetWindowPos(hText, 0, 70, 35, 1920, 1080, 0)
        End If

This code resizes the text label to a very large size and covers the lower area. If you change the height from 1080 to something smaller, like 30, the problem disappears.

I was also able to get it to work by removing this If statement entirely. The MessageBox is still centered in the parent form and appears to work correctly without it.
