524468 - Improve Tab Preview interpolation to reduce poor dithering

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Core :: Widget: Win32, defect)

Description

[Sylvain Pasche]

Saw this on Scott Hanselman's blog (http://www.hanselman.com/blog/LightItUpListOfApplicationsThatUseNewWindows7Features.aspx)

"One subtle but irritating thing I did notice, was that the Aero Previews for Firefox 3.61a1 (build 2) are really unclear and poorly dithered. Here's an IE8 preview showing cnn.com next to FireFox showing the same page.

I'm sure they'll fix it, but it's irritating to my eye. [...]"

This is going to require the high quality image scaling work from bug 517294 which is currently a low priority.

[Mike Beltzner [:beltzner, not reading bugmail]]

Don't think it blocks, in the greater context of things, but we definitely should fix. Adding the owner of bug 517294 so he knows what's stacking up on that one :)

Still doesn't block, but I'd take a patch.

[Recall]

Hey guys, is there any work going to be done on this? It seems to be forgotten about?

Mass bug change to replace various 'parity' whiteboard flags with the new canonical keywords. (See bug 1443764 comment 13.)

This code isn't part of shell integration so moving to widget where most of that code lives.

:spohl, could you consider increasing the bug severity?

The last needinfo from me was triggered in error by recent activity on the bug. I'm clearing the needinfo since this is a very old bug and I don't know if it's still relevant.

Tentatively closing.
