Hi, it seems to me that a grey shadow was added to hover text in 1.15.

Yeah, all the blurry text startled me. I was looking in About Land, and I suddenly started to wonder if I need stronger glasses.

I had that at lunchtime but it seems to be gone this evening.
In between then and now I changed to UI size back to normal (1) and changed the screen resolution for SL to a different value than normal and then back to normal. _____________________

BTW, it's not just object hover text but also some text of the UI.

The blur is definitely back. I'm not sure it was gone, but I am sure it is back. I almost get the impression the text is translucent.
There may be a setting somewhere to change this. Perhaps someone with more energy than I have at the moment could look in the source code and find what is responsible for this and rough it up a bit. _____________________

My impression (which may be wrong, I've not done a lot of investigating), is that the new text style is better in full screen mode, but worse when running in a window.

I can't find anything related in the change log, Client menu or Debug floater and many people don't see text as blurry/shadowed, so maybe it's a graphic card thing. I have an Intel GMA 950.

Not really, Well it's not a server thing, it's not a client thing since we all have the same, so it's a hardware thing. _____________________

Object's hover text could be a server side thing At this stage many are having problems. Unless its a Microsoft DirectX issue |

My UI text is blurred, grainy, whatever you want to call it, since the update. I submitted a bug report.

Mmm... the shadow on text has been made softer. I like it, but then I only use white text.

I don't see how this can be server side.
Text seems fine here, unless I'm not looking at the right text. I run sl at 1280x1024, in windows mode (but having the window maxed out to full screen, so just the XP bar at the bottom so I can quickly jump to other programs) The UI Size I have set to 1.1 (but I just tried it at 1.0 and that looked fine too) Anyways here's a Windows screen grab so it includes the menu text, hovering object text, my av text and hovering bubble text over myself too. http://www.musicprogressive.com/sls/sl_screengrab.jpg (make sure your browsers is displaying the image at 100% otherwise it'll be blurry anyways of course) I'm curious as to what this blurry effect is like for other people, anyone want to post a screen grab of theirs?. |
