Windows 7 with a 1920x1080 resolution (high-end laptop). No idea why things look like this but they certainly do:

Just tried it at 1920x1080 as well (normally run 1920x1200) and looked all good. So not sure how to fix your issue, just know it isn't tied into the resolution.

^ Operating system?

Ah yea, win 7, 64 bit tho.

I've been posting this for my girlfriend, so yea. Her laptop is an Dell Studio XPS 1645 running Windows 7 Home Premium with an i7, 6 gigs of RAM, and an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4670 running at 1920x1080. Uninstalled and reinstalled just to be sure. Running as admin makes no difference from standard.

I played around in the Nightmist folder a bit and noticed that her skins are different sizes. But they all fall just short of 800 x 600 pixels (790 x 557 pixels is one and another is 788 x 554) which seems strange to me. Anyone know if this is normal? Other than that I'm out of ideas for the moment.

I thought the issue was with the roller being screwed up. The skin problem, I think, is because it's a widescreen. The resolution you run isn't common for computers (which normally use 16:10) as opposed to TV's that use 16:9, 1920x1080 is a 16:9 ratio.

It's a problem with everything on Nightmist that has a background. Log-in screen, account manager, skins, roller, everything is screwed up. It's not THAT big of a deal as they all function properly, just annoying really.

Anyway, indeed I know it is uncommon. For whatever reason, that's the native (and maximum) resolution for the newer Dell laptops (resolutions on laptop are basically pre-set as changing them makes things look very strange for various hardware reasons). I was just wondering if there's a simple fix or not. I tried telling Nightmist to run at different resolutions, but regardless it opens the same as always.

Interestingly enough, there's been a huge HD movement towards 16:9 (1920 x 1080) for computer monitors too. That way there's a standardized ratio for everyone. I just bought a new HD screen and it too has the same problem as above, but only when played as full screen. Oh well, looks like I just have to deal with it.
