Since upgrading to 1.14 from 1.13 I noticed that the camera control arrows are suddenly blurry just if somebody had used JPEG compression on them. Since I use them frequently and found this annoying (bleeding outlines hurt the eyes of a webdesigner) I downgraded to 1.13, but now I'm forced to use 1.15 and still see the ol' blur. (I had hoped it would be fixed by now.)

Am I the only one experiencing this? It can't be a graphics adapter problem, it's typical JPEG blur and a problem with the control bitmap, and the worst thing is, it was fine in version 1.13, so why had it to be replaced and worsened?

If you want to see what I mean, have a look at the screenshots in this blog post:

Not only are the camera controls blurry but the names above avatars heads and the buttons at the bottom of the screen are too if you drag your cursor over them. It appears that this is a new feature and I am guessing that LL thought it would be cool to add gray scale. I can only say that I feal slightly sick to my stomach if I look at this new feature plus it gave me a headache after just a few minutes. I submitted a bug report.

Linden Labs please give up bright sharp letters like we had yesterday!

That sounds really backwards.

Yes, I noticed the same. Everything is blurrier, also buttons and progress bars, I saw the clear difference when downgrading back to 1.13.

I can only second that and add: Linden Labs, please give us back bright colors and shapes in the UI!

By the way, I just asked two Avatars inworld if they also noticed the blur - they did.
