This is the view in Firefox 3.6 and the icons look fine. The report a bug would not allow me to choose any of the drop down boxes when creating the issue. This was done with VS2008 c#, DE 9.3. Client desktop review the page is Windows 7 64bit, IE8. I tried both mode of website compatibility settings (on and off).
Thanks.

Hi Gary,
I am afraid I cannot reproduce this issue locally.
Please try to install DXperience 9.3.4, upgrade your project to the most recent version of our controls (9.3.4) and finally check how it works. What are your results?
Thanks,
Plato
I know get the following error after doing the project upgrade to 9.3.4:
CS0433: The type 'DevExpress.Web.ASPxMenu.ASPxMenu' exists in both 'c:\Windows\assembly\GAC_MSIL\DevExpress.Web.v9.3\9.3.4.0__b88d1754d700e49a\DevExpress.Web.v9.3.dll' and 'c:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\Temporary ASP.NET Files\dcripharmqav1\ffdf5feb\77ad4b91\assembly\dl3\2b29b844\142ebb3d_46a3ca01\DevExpress.Web.v9.3.DLL'
How do I resolve?
Thanks.
Gary
Ignore the runtime error, I found that I had the dlls from 9.3.3 in my bin folder.
9.3.4 improves but still has the issue. See attached file. It seems that compatibility mode makes it more pronounced.
The sort icons seems to be corrected but has issues when IE8 is in compatibility mode.
Thanks.

Hi Gary,
I have checked how our demo project works HeaderFiler demo and have not seen this issue. Can you reproduce this problem using an online demo?
Thanks,
Plato
Yes, I was able to reproduce online.
See attached image with highlights.
I tested some of the other templates and am seeing similar issues (black glass, aqua, etc…)
I also uninstalled rebooted and reinstalled IE8 on my win7 64bit machine. I tested IE8 plain and 64bit with the same results. I have no plugins enabled and tested smart dithering/image resizing on and off with the same results.
IE8 on Windows XP SP3 seems to display correctly.
Installed and tested 2010.1 and noticed the same issues.
I believe I found the issues, please review the latest screenshot. You will see two images. The issue looks to be when IE8 zoom to enlarge the text. It causes visual issues whethere 105 to 125%.
Please review.
Thanks.
Hi Gary,
I am afraid, we cannot fix this issue. When a page is zoomed in, a bilinear filter is applied to sprite images and pixels which should be outside of an image that appears inside it.
Thanks,
Plato
Plato,
Thank you for the reply.
I would like to mention two things.
This issue is unique to DevExpress. I retested with Telerik, ComponentArt and Infragistics web grid and they don't have the same behavoir as your webgrid.
Secondly, I use the web controls for a limited group of users. But if I had to expand it to more users in the gov't, it would not pass the 508/usabillity because of the zoom issue.
Thanks.
Gary
Hi Gary,
The problem appears because we are using sprites and the spaces between images are not transparent but white. We have done this to easily determine an image's boundaries when designing sprites. I've converted your bug report to a suggestion and we will implement it in the future.
Thanks,
Plato
