Distribution kit Welcome Page bitmap grainy

[atomic928]

In my CVI 2009 project I have a Distribution kit setup with my company's logo in the 'Welcome background image'. The image is a .bmp file size 500x350. My problem is when I run the distribution install file and the Welcome page comes up the image looks grainy, actually really crappy. Bringing the original bmp up in either Photoshop, Paint and/or windows viewer it looks fine.

This also is the case in my banner bitmap, 500x70, on the rest of the install wizard pages.

Any suggestions on how to get my image to look more 'sharp' in the welcome page?

Thanks

Hi atomic928,

Have you tried any other .bmp or .jpg images? Do these all give the same grainy look?

[atomic928]

Yes just made anohter image and tried it. Still 'grainy'.

Any suggestions?

Has anybody else seen this?

Thanks

atomic928,

Have you seen this? It mentions the exact image dimensions to avoid distortion.

Hope this helps!

Well that did the trick, 578x59 and 578x383. I know I read in some document that about CVI installer using 500x70 but can't find it now. Some conflicting/confusing text.

Never the less, it looks fine now.

Thanks for the help.
