Blue Screen Instead Of Black?

In full screen mode, the background color seems to be dark blue, why?

Re: Blue Screen Instead Of Black?

Maybe the resolution setting on your computer?


I'm graduating HS this April and going to college in the Fall.

Hmm. I see this too. It is like a really really dark blue, but to me it is hardly noticeable. If you are really anoyed by it just change the brightness of your computer screen.

No display can show true black without being off. This "blue" is really just illuminated black.

I have an LCD monitor, and I get a slight blue.

And don't talk in blocks.

Re: Blue Screen Instead Of Black?

Actually the same thing for my. In my level creator player, there is a small margin where there is black in the project, and then all of the tils inside. Then of course the entire black screen behind that in presentation mode. The wierd thing though is that sometimes that margin is black, but the inside becomes dark blue. Pretty wierd.

It's true, the background turns into dark blue. You can see the difference with the 'real' black in presentation mode.

On my computer the RGB value is 0,0,1.
I made a game once and I set the background colour to black and a sprite's colour to black and guess what. I could still see the sprite!!

Find someone post count. Click posts under username. Find number of pages. Times that by 40 for min and 60 for max and you have a rough estimate of post count.

That's because both the sprite and the background turn blue, because to the monitor it doesn't matter what is a sprite or what is a background... It all turns blue. Because black is impossible to make.
