In my WP7 app i’m having problems with background images rendering badly. It looks like the images are rendered using 8-bit colors, and in general looks ugly. They’re .png. Heres a screenshot of how it looks in the app:

Does anyone know what causes this and how it can be fixed?

    Have you tried to enabled 32bit colour?

    To do this, open up your WMAppManifest.xml and in the App element add BitsPerPixel=”32″

    <Deployment xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/windowsphone/2009/deployment" AppPlatformVersion="7.1">
      <App BitsPerPixel="32" xmlns="" ProductID="{25aef417- 
    

    Not sure if this will resolve the issue, but the fact your using a .png image and only having 16bit colour could be related.
