right. that sucks. it currently enforces the aspect ratio instead as well as it can. it's rounded to integers at some point anyways, so that's only so precise. maybe we could optimize the calculation for equal boder sizes instead, or maybe it would need to be anti-aliased and draw half pixel borders. -j. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Master Visual Studio, SharePoint, SQL, ASP.NET, C# 2012, HTML5, CSS, MVC, Windows 8 Apps, JavaScript and much more.
