Hi all,



My wife is trying to create a nice background logo to be used in my custom Login form, but for some reason, when I try to use the image as a background it display a white column on the left and not matter what I do, it will not cover all the form. I also test it with a PictureBox and got the same result.



I noticed that the StrataFlix login sample uses a custom background image (not included in the project), is there any specific rule or setting I should tell my wife about this image so it can be used on my forms? She is using Adobe illustrator to create the image.



Thanks!

That is a good looking image. Tell you wife she did a great job. It looks like it should apply just fine as a background image. Check your tiling options as you will not want to use tiling but rather size the form to the exact dimensions.

Well, now she will believe me when I tell her that the image looks pretty good. Thanks.

I did that and still it keeps showing a white column on the left side. Sorry I am not at my computer and cannot show you a screenshot, but if you add this image to a PictureBox or a Form.BackgroundImage you will see the problem.



I know the problem is with the image settings somewhere in Illustrator but we have not been able to find out why.



Here is another version of the background image. (After your compliments, she insisted me to upload this one) Hehe
