In my Coverflow item, if I have a background image, then I place a textblock over the top of it, the text appears soft or fuzzy in the coverflow. Has anyone else seen this? Has anyone found a work around? When I take away the background image, the text looks fine. It also doesn't matter whether it is over a jpg, png or path object.
thanks
