Hi,

I've just noticed, that there is this problem also in the Classic theme, you can't see it very good because it's so dark.
-> Attachment: screenshot of Classic main menu (the line is marked)
Important is that this problem only occurs in screen resolutions of more than 1280x****.

I think I found where the problem is: when the image has to be stretched, they are not displayed corectly:

My example here: the 4 background images are 512x512. With my resoulution of 1280x1024, the width is more than 2 pictures together, so they have to be stretched! In the screen resolution of 1024x768 or 800x600 there is absolutely no problem because "width >= image_width * 2" (e.g. 800 >= 512+512). (The same with the height)
In the Ben Moto Theme the problem is even worse because the images are 256x256, so they have always to be stretched. Even with the resoulution of 800x600 you see the black line in Ben Moto.
I've tested to make all the 4 images 1024x1024: With such big images I don't have problems in any resolution, because the images are always bigger than the screen dimensions.

I hope this can help you, I'm am quite sure that the problem is when xmoto stretches the images. (maybe it's something with OpenGL)
If you need anything, I'm disposed to help.

PS: well, I know I could just make my images very big, but I think it woud be bether when you solve this small bug. (a 2048x2048 image is quite big)
PS2: sorry if my English is not 100% correct, but i think you can understand me :) good luck solving the problem

Hi,
i know that this problem exists, because somebody told me it. But, if
you could send the files (screenshot + the theme files) to reproduce the
problem, i could have a look at it.

Hi,
I just need a bit help:
I have decided to start making my own X-Moto theme. Till now, it was
very funny!
I changed some parts of the driver and other graphics too. But now I’ve
run into a small problem, and I don’t kwon how to fix it:
When I put my own pictures of UI->TitleBL,BR,TL,TR, there’s a kind of
black line between the pictures. I don’t know if the error is at my side
but I can give you another example: the benmoto theme.
There is also a strange black line between the 4 images of the benmoto
background.
I have also noticed that this reacts differently to the various screen
resolution (my is 1280x1024).
I would realy appreciate help.
My e-mail address is aero_super@xxxxxxxxx.
If you need screenshots or more information please ask.
I hope i can soon upload my theme to you when I’m finished!

regards,
Christian Zommerfelds (or aeRo :))

PS: I realy like X-Moto! It’s by far my favorite game! ;)
