I recently came across a problem I can't solve which involves not being able to draw my sprites properly. I have tried a lot of different things and couldn't find any solution.
Here is how the image should look like in unity:
And here is how it actually looks like:
If someone could tell me how to fix this, I would be very grateful.
Presumably the top image is a screenshot of your image manipulation program, many of which use the chequerboard pattern to mean transparency. As such, the image you have exported is a gradient going from almost solid white at the bottom to transparent at the top. This is why the image appears as such in Unity.
Also, if you're wondering why the image appears as though it has bands of different colours, this is due to a problem called colour banding. This can be fixed by using a technique called Dither (which adds some noise to the image), but how you do so will depend on which image manipulation program you are using.

I'm new to Unity so Hopefully this is an easy fix.
So everything looks super low res for me. I wish my images looked high res.
Even SVG looks low res even though they're vector nodes, I don't get that at all but I assume Unity doesn't play with svg yet? the black outline graphic is SVG, the rest are PNG with alpha.
Take a peek at my three different windows. Let me know your suggestions (remember I don't know anything so the easiest thing can been overlooked)
There is a "Scale" slider on top of the game view. Right now it is set to 2.8x. When you do that Unity just zooms in but it doesn't set the the resolution or actually change anything at all. It's like moving the screen really close to your face :D Nothing else besides that particulat window is affected by this setting. So my advice would be to always keep it at 1. Unless you want to see something specific at the screen of course
In Unity, is there a way to give slight color variations to a scene (a strain of purple here, some yellow blur there) without adjusting every single texture? And for that to work in VR stereo images too (and ideally in semi-consistent way as one moves around, and perhaps also without having to use computing-heavy colored lights)? Many thanks!
A simple way to achieve this if your color effect is fixed would be to add a canvas that renders a half transparent image to the whole screen. But I suppose that you might prefer some dynamic effect.
To achieve this, look at Unity's post processing stack. It allows you to add many post process effects, such as chromatic aberation and color grading, that might allow you to do what you want
I have a problem in Swift with UITableViewCell background image. Let's say that it shows quite fine one iPhone5 but on iPhone 6Plus it is stretch and thus it looks bad. This is probably due to Aspect fill or something which I really couldn't manage to change and achieve what I want so would be the best if someone could poke sample code I am providing as well as image how it should look, so anyone can check it out and maybe give me some hint or tip or sample code or even fixed demo version.
So here it is:
Note that on left side there is a curve (like half a circle) around right side of icon. On bigger phones or tablet, that curve gets super stretch thus completely destroying the look.

Thanks all in advance for any help. I am pretty stuck with this one.
You can stretch an image while preserving the aspect ratio of a portion of that image using slicing. Xcode offers a graphical interface for doing this. The idea is that you decide what parts of the image are allowed to stretch and which aren't.

i am trying to place several elements with gtkoverlay: 3 images and 3 labels, they should overlap. everything works pretty fine, i can place them nicely but the transparency is not used, i've tried svg and png for the images and the labels print with the bounding box in white. anyone could help me to understand what is happening or guide me to force the reading of the transparency channel?
maybe
GTKOVERLAY_background_disable (true)...
if it exist
I've come across a strange render bug on iPhone OS 3.0...
I have two images. One is a non-transparent PNG that is predominately black with a white gradient fading upward.
The second is a transparent PNG with translucent clouds.
When I overlay the two using UIImageView, the intersection of the clouds and white gradient triggers a render bug that causes a rather odd looking graphical glitch that removes all opacity from the image on top (in this case the clouds), and causes the glitched portion of the image to render on top of all layers in the current view (including ones it is technically underneath).
It only occurs at the intersection of the two portions of the images. So typically only a very small block is experiencing the error while the rest of the images render normally.
Has anyone seen this and does anyone have a fix? I want to check before I move on to Core Animation which will hopefully address the problem (since I imagine that CA or even OpenGL is more apt to handle overlapping alpha channels).
Screenshot found here:

You can see the intersect of the two images at the lower right.
From your description, this seems to be a bug in Apple's code. I would report it to Apple and wait for a fix.
In the meantime, you can try to implement the same functionality in Core Animation or OpenGL in the hope that the bug is in the higher-level UIImageView, but since the UIImageView itself uses Core Animation, it's possible that this bug is simply unavoidable until it's fixed.
I assume you're displaying them using UIImageView? If so, have you set opaque to NO on the transparent view?
