Re: Can't get menus created with spumux to look good

I have done some more testing and found out that it might be a problem 
in VLC player. In Xine and on my dvd+tv it looks as expected. (I though 
I had tried it in my dvd player, but probably not since I can't 
reproduce the problem any more.)

Using Xine I can now make menus and they look like expected. But it 
still looks crappy on my dvd +  tv. I made some square boxes with all 
edges aligned at even pixels. All vertical lines have a "shadow" in 
another color a few pixels to the left. I tried some commercial discs as 
well and I can see the same effect there but the shadow is less visible. 
Perhaps it will be less visible if I choose some other colors.
