Graphics different in ai2-test server

[Peter Mathijssen]

This is the way my app looked with the "old" app inventor.

This is how it looks with the "new" app inventor test server. The button images look rougher. I use a fix screen size. The size of the images for the buttons is set to automatic. Setting the size to the size of the images, in this case 96 by 96 pixels gives the same effect. 

Is there a way of making the effect looks smoother as the where. See here one of the images of the buttons.

Hi,

I experimented a bit. I tried 128 x 128 pixel images. The result was somewhat better but not 100%. Then i used 256 x 256 pixel images. This worked. SInce i use a fixed size screen i used 96 pixels as height and width.

My phone is a Samsung Core 2. Now it looks as it should be and even better as i may say so.

Maybe you should also try responsive sizing and see how it looks.
Cheers, Ghica.

Hi Ghica,

Thanks for the tip. My app is just to be used on phones. For an existing app it was advised to stick with fixed sizing. So i did. It worked when i used bigger images for the buttons.

I'm marking this complete.

Note that fixed sizing tries to make the app look as it did before the upgrde.  But that won't always be possible.   There were an enormous number of changes in the upgrade, and screens are handled differently (API3 vs API4).
