Ok so I have a custom control and I am applying a background gradient to it. The control that it is in is set to anchor left and right and the image is set to Stretch on the control.

Here is what the background image looks like when its in the normal size of the form.

Here is what the background image looks like when the control is stretched.

Distorted

Obviously I want it to look like the top one as far as the edges go. I am using Inkscape to develop the background image. Any help on how to avoid this blurry edge would be much appreciated.

    I suggest trying 9 images in your control, one for every edge and one for every corner plus the middle container, maybe you’ve seen this technique in a lot of websites. If you set all images with good anchor, the top and bottom edges will stretch only sideways and the right and left will stretch upward and downward. The corners would never change and the container would be completly stretchable. I am worried about flickering though since it is in a winform. Worth trying.

    If you use a fixed image, even if it is bigger and you shrink it, you’ll lose the corners proportions.
