Hi everyone,

Does anyone having custom SMS bubbles notice faint, thin vertical lines on the right hand side of the bubbles, as if they were some sort of margin ? Both for incoming and outgoing texts, one line for each bubble, always on the right hand side.

I personally find it hugely disturbing..

I have changed the color of my bubbles and I get no such thing. Sorry.

i notice this as well, theres a thin lighter color line on the right side of the bubbles

Ah good, falcon has my problem.. could you imagine why perhaps ? I don’t have a clue to dump them..

Martin could you lend me a hand with this please ? Tell me if we need screenshots..

OK, send me a screenshot, but are you saying it’s only with custom SMS bubbles?

Yes, so it seems. I just tried out another (custom) set, you’ll see what I mean. I’ll post the screenshots soon.

Here you go, Martin:

The images you are using are broken into 9 segments (that’s the Apple works with images) and then re-sized and reconstructed to be the desired height and width. Looks like the custom images you are using are defined at an odd pixel count.

If you take one of the custom images and in effect add an extra pixel into the image in the middle somewhere, should fix it.

How should I do that Martin ? Can you give me a lead in Photoshop for instance ?

Sorry, not my area of expertise…:(

Any one else .. please ?

Not sure if this would work too, in photoshop you can just change the canvas size. add the width by 1 pixel to make it an even number.

Let me try to change mine when I got home later.

@toblo : thanks so much, I’ll wait for it..

I just compared my customized balloon and biteSMS default balloon, they are the same size 43×32 pixels. The same size a stock SMS.

And the same line actually appear on the default biteSMS balloon.

Here’s the screenshot, and another one desaturated+contrast to bring the line out.

Umm, OK, it’s a bug we need to fix, so we’ll do so.

Thanks for finding it!

Woe toblo great going !! :-)

Thanks Martin.

Martin, just off interest, is this a big bug ? Would it take a lot of time for you guys to fix it, or can you squeeze it into the main release ?

It’ll be in release 3.1, cause there’s too much to do already…:(

Ya ok no probs at all :-)

yep, i’m getting that faint lines, too.
