Hello,

When building a basic roGridScreen, if I set GridScreenBackgroundColor to #FFFFFF I end up with vertical grey lines surrounding the display. Am I missing a theme property that needs to be set? Or is this a known issue? If so, is there a workaround for cases when the background of an roGridScreen needs to be white?

Example code (simplified from SimpleGrid SDK example):

Function Main()
    theme = CreateObject("roAssociativeArray")
    theme.GridScreenBackgroundColor = "#FFFFFF"
    app = CreateObject("roAppManager")
    app.SetTheme(theme)
    gridstyle = "Flat-Movie"
    m.port=CreateObject("roMessagePort")
    screen = CreateObject("roGridScreen")
    screen.SetMessagePort(m.port)
    screen.SetDisplayMode("scale-to-fill")
    screen.SetGridStyle(gridstyle)
    categoryList = ["Drama"]
    screen.setupLists(categoryList.count())
    screen.SetListNames(categoryList)
    for i = 0 to categoryList.count()-1
        screen.SetContentList(i, getShowsForCategoryItem(categoryList[i]))
    end for
    screen.Show()
    while true
        print "Waiting for message"
        msg = wait(0, m.port)
        if type(msg) = "roGridScreenEvent" then
            if msg.isListItemFocused() then
                print"list item focused | current show = "; msg.GetIndex()
            else if msg.isListItemSelected() then
                row = msg.GetIndex()
                selection = msg.getData()
                print "list item selected row= "; row; " selection= "; selection
            else if msg.isScreenClosed() then
                return ""
            end if
        end If
    end while
End Function

Function getShowsForCategoryItem(category As Object) As Object
    showList = [
        {
            Title: category + ": Header",
            releaseDate: "1976",
            length: 3600-600,
            Description:"This row is category " + category,
            hdBranded: true,

            SDPosterUrl:"http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/43/Gold_star_on_blue.gif",
            Description:"Short Synopsis #1",
            Synopsis:"Length",
            StarRating:10,
        }
    ]
    return showList
End Function

This is my first post to the forums so I apologize if I missed anything... This has been driving me nuts though and I can't seem to find it documented elsewhere.

Thanks!

I don't think there's anything you can do about it. I believe it's a result of the upscaling to 1080p resolution, as it doesn't typically appear at 720p.
