Hello Andrey,

you forgot to tell that you ran the installer in a low res virtual desktop
mode.
I get the same behaviour when running the installer in virtual desktop mode
800x600.
That kind of artifacting is expected there (downsizing a fixed width/height
image) and has nothing to do with 'palette'.

Run the installer in fullscreen or desktop mode with at least 1024x768 or
better higher.

I'm tempted to say 'invalid'.

Regards

Yes, 1024x768 and higher makes much better, but still 1px size line is still
present anyway. And why that present just for some installers and not for all
in a row?

well, I don't know - most likely some installers had background images
optimized for 1280x800 minimum resolution.
The vendor probably didn't anticipate someone would run it with such low
resolution.
Who runs Windows with a native desktop resolution of 800x600 when trying to
play high-res games? That is pretty pointless.

Please verify that this artifacting issue is _not_ present on Windows when the
installer is run with a low Desktop resolution (provide full screen
screenshots).

No, it's not present on Windows. Ok, if it's not a critical issue I can close
the report. Thanks.

If it does not happen in Windows I think it's a valid bug.

And it's already confirmed by two users.

I'm not sure but Bruno said:

This sounds more like he just referred to your statement.

Bruno, you already tested some older games with your Windows machine (thanks),
can you confirm (set bug to 'new') if there is no artifacting on Windows with
'Hitman: Blood Money demo' etc. installer background images with 800x600
desktop resolutions?

I'll do, it will take some time to download. Probably only next year.

side by side 800x600 and 640x480

IMO the bug is invalid, windows xp clearly shows the same artifacts.

Thanks for your effort into testing this!

I suspected that because the installer package has no background image
resources for different screen resolutions.
As already said: the publisher/developer never anticipated people would run the
installer/game with such low desktop resolutions.

I'll resolve this 'invalid' for now unless Andrey provides screenshots from
running the installer with low-res Windows that proves otherwise (move desktop
settings dialog to foreground, showing the current res).
In that case please specify exactly which Windows version (build, sp), desktop
settings and graphics driver used.
