Hello all,

I wonder why the element-size in a description-resource is not equivalent to the size in pixels? And not even quadratic?

To be more precise:
I want a user-area to be exactly 16x16 pixels. Unfortunately, I cannot simply enter 16x16 into the Resource Editor, like this

because it results in a non-quadratic user-area.

I have used an image-tool to measure the size of the resulting user-area and found out that the relationship between the actual size and the defined size is for the width 1.6 and for the height ~0,761905.

Why is the defined size != the actual size (in pixels)? It wouldn't actually be bad if it was at least be the same factor, but it isn't! And this is in fact, really annoying.

The actual dimensions that I have to set are 27x12 to get a 16x16 pixels user-area.

Thanks in advance,
Niklas
