Graphic Misbehaving

[Spac3man]

Hello,

Can someone be kind enough to tell me what I am doing wrong with my graphics? I don't understand why they blurr in the lower corners. I set the anchors this way in other DBs but this is the first time I made my own.

In the windows version of FM gradients are rendered with fuzzy edges. The edges become more prominent when the graphic is stretched out. To get around this, create and import your graphics at the largest scale that will be needed and then shrink them down on the layout itself. This way when the graphic needs to be enlarged, as in your example, it already has enough pixel information to appear smooth at the largest scale needed.

Well, I tried what you said and created the graphics at 480x480 then shrunk them in FM to 24x24 and they still get stretched when I go into browse mode. I'm not sure what to try now.

EDIT:

I think I found an unorthodox solution. I've inserted and extra identical graphic at the 'blur' location and anchored it to the top/bottom or left/right which then covers the blur.
