Category: Installation Group: Python 2.4 >Status: Closed >Resolution: Out of Date Priority: 3 Submitted By: Jim Jewett (jimjjewett) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: smeared title when installing Initial Comment: Python 2.4b1 on Windows XP. 1280x800. The "python: for windows" heading looks smeared. Other graphical elements also look somewhat smeared, but it isn't as much of a problem when it isn't text to begin with. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Georg Brandl (gbrandl) Date: 2006-10-12 12:29 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=849994 The PC build now has entirely different icons, using the new Python.org style. Closing this. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Martin v. Löwis (loewis) Date: 2004-10-20 06:35 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=21627 Scratch the remark on PCbuild/installer.bmp. I somehow thought that 1.2.18.2 has a different resolution than the HEAD version, which it doesn't. I don't understand the phrase "highest-level source". If you are asking whether this is the primary source: for us, it is. Erik van Blokland has some mechanism to generate that, but we don't. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Martin v. Löwis (loewis) Date: 2004-10-20 06:32 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=21627 We would need to ask the original author of that picture. I have not been able to contact him; please try yourself. Using PCbuild/installer.bmp might indeed be an option. I could try to arrange the dialogs so that it won't need scaling. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Jim Jewett (jimjjewett) Date: 2004-10-20 00:23 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=764593 Would it be possible to recreate the original picture (or at least parts of it) at the full size, instead of stretching? If the picture parts have to be stretched, that isn't such a problem, but it is better if the button frames aren't stretched -- and particularly the text. Even just replacing the "windows: python" with blank space and text (or redoing that one portion at full size -- maybe not aliased?) would help. Is this the highest-level source? If so, what size would you like it stretched to, and I'll see if I can help. http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/*checkout*/python/ python/dist/src/PCbuild/installer.bmp?rev=1.2.18.2 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Martin v. Löwis (loewis) Date: 2004-10-19 19:30 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=21627 I don't know what to do about this. Any suggestion appreciated; without suggestions, this likely is what 2.4 will look like. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Mike Brauwerman (brauwerman) Date: 2004-10-18 23:09 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=71983 The "smearing" is the effect of a small bitmap picture, with aliased text, blown up (stretched) to fit into a large space. The graphic has fat pixels, which look a little funny, but they look better if you squint :-) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Jim Jewett (jimjjewett) Date: 2004-10-18 22:16 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=764593 I used a .bmp to avoid additional info loss. Zipped file is only 20K, but unzips to over a meg. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=1049615&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
