Hello, I have tested to load 2D Images into the engine with same size and diffrent formats but I can't get the image to look perfect like using this tool:

http://developer.nvidia.com/object/windo...iewer.html

The image always looks blured and not sharp.

Image in the attachment.

if you use A8R8G8B8 then the image will be exactly the same as original

Yes, but when I load it into the engine the image quality is not as sharp. Try to drop the image into the converter and check the quality, Its not the same.

Gui += window.create(Rect( D.pixelToScreen( RectI( 0, 0, 404, 202 ) ) ));

// Style
window.style->image_back = Images("../inventory.gfx");

// Window Settings
window.style->border_color = 0;
window.style->shadow = 0;
window.barVisible( false );

Did you see the diffrence?

Also check the thread: http://www.esenthel.com/community/showth...p?tid=2078

Thank you

I'll take a look at it when I'll find some time.
Please note that not only size is here important, but also position.
If your window position is located at +0.5 pixel then it will get blurred.

I know this, But try view the image in your Converter program, It will be blured in that to.

Converter rescales the image to be drawn to match the size of the window

I see, But still same problem ingame.

Gui += window.create(Rect( D.pixelToScreen( RectI( 0, 0, 404, 202 ) ) ));

// Style
window.style->image_back = Images("../inventory.gfx");
window.style->border_color = 0;
window.style->shadow = 0;
window.barVisible( false );

Correct size 404*202 pixels.

And its still blured.

Here is an image preview, To the left = Engine to the Right = DDS Viewer.

---

Vec2 pSize = D.pixelToScreenSize( VecI2( 404, 202 ) );

// window
Gui += window.create(Rect_R(D.w(),0,pSize.x, pSize.y)).level(0);

I did this, Then the window is clear, BUT when I move the window a bit then the window gets blured.

Any reason?

if its that important to you then you can in the Window::update method
adjust the window position in each frame to be perfectly per-pixel aligned.

Yes its very important to move the window and have the same sharpness. I think everyone likes that.

Ok I will try it.

yes, but that approach forces visually smaller gui size on bigger resolutions

So you mean, everyone who wants to have sharp GUI Images must always adjust the window position in Window::update method to get the images sharp?, Can't this be done itself in the Engine's GUI Move handler?

Just sounds wierd to not always have the images perfectly per-pixel aligned.

Best regards
