So I'm working on a new theme and the main icons are showing up blurry, sort of like they're stretched by 1 pixel or something. I have a picture of what it looks like in XMB with what the icon 'should' look like next to it outlined in red:

Any idea what's wrong? Also I have all the icons set to be touching right on the edge of eachother, but when I look at the end of the row of icons, there is a 1 pixel gap between the last 2 icons.

hey man im back.
1. are you using a png? or a bmp?
i recommend you use bmp for precise positioning.

2. check the dimension of your image(s). i don't know why but it(the blurry thing) happens to me when my images have odd dimensions like 119 x 119, try to pad (don't stretch the image, enlarge the canvas instead) it to 120 x 120.

tell me if it works. good luck ^^\m/

I thought it could have been the format, but...
1. They're all 106x206.
2. When I extracted the BMPs, they were perfect. I even reinjected the BMPs instead of the original PNGs.

Something I noticed is that whichever unfocused icon is in the center of the screen (network in this case), looks perfect. But as the main icons go further away it get blurry. D=

I had the exactly same problem ages ago!

and it was really annoying cause I coundnt find any solutions for it, I think I ended up using a fresh set of default RCO and PRXs and starting from scratch and it seemed to fix it, but if you find any quicker ways to fix lemme know! maybe its something to do with alpha unfocused icon?

also I added some space to the right hand side of my pngs so yours would be 106 x 208 (canvas)

and.. in photoshop when you save as png, go to "save for web" and select PNG24, for some reason that made my icons sharper compared to saving a normal png.. but obviously it would increase file size, for me I was using small icons so I got away with using full 24png icons Ahhyes

>.< Nothing is working. I guess I'll just have to live with it, unless someone else has an idea.
