Blurred Textures

I'm using stuf unit frames, but im not using borders. I'm using the backdrop to imitate a small clean 1px border, but I can't figure out why it's a bit blurry. I've tried everything, i turned down my multisampling to 1x and i got the macro for ui scaling but nothing is working.

--

sometimes the pixels are nice and clean, like exactly how i want them and then i'll move the frame and they get blurred again... any ideas or suggestions on the matter would be greatly appreciated.

thanks.

I've always had this problem too, and it IS the fault of multisampling. I use a nVidia video card and used one of the nVidia tools to overwrite the WoW in-game multisampling setting to 1x(which means off) and never had a problem again.

Make sure you're using your monitor's "Native Resolution" - LCD/Plasma screens have a resolution at which they work best, and this is called their "Native" resolution.

So you have a 1.77~ aspect ratio? (Just double-checking - my 24" is 1.6 with 1920x1200.) What resolution is WoW set to in video options? Are your action buttons square and your minimap a circle (or square)? You wouldn't *believe* how many UI screenshots we've seen where the resolution is set incorrectly, so I'm just covering bases.
