Thanks for that. When I shrunk the bitmap drastically (to 450 pixels wide) it went away.
I checked with SPY++, and the bitmap is 493 pixels wide (at least on my Vista system, the way it's set up at the moment). As the dialogs are specified in dialog units, what is the recommendation for sizing bitmaps? Build something that can be stretched without much distortion?
