I just added a new atlas when I noticed the quality of my UI atlas has drastically dropped! (See the rough edges in the attachment) This is really frustrating, this is the 2nd time it happens.

Any idea how to fix this? what's the cause of this? and how to prevent this from happening in the future?

-- Thanks.

Looks like Unity resized the atlas. Could you post the inspector for the atlas texture?

Added to my question. Ahhh could you please tell me how to fu**** insert an image other than inserting it in the attachments?? how do you use those frekin [img] tags?? >_<

And you're right, Unity did mess up the settings, I changed the filter option back to Trilinear and now it's better, but still not perfect, anything else I should do?

Check your quality settings - it may be that unity forces half or quarter size textures if you're on fastest.

Thanks I will check it out.

I actually meant inserting it locally from your own hdd, that's when those tags let me down.

You're trying to link images stored on your hard drive without attaching them first? Uh. How do you expect that to work? Think about it.

Hahaha, yeah ok. You can't insert images with the tag if you have them on your hdd. You have to upload it somewhere. I recommend imgur.com .

Haha, OK, I'm just used to Unity Questions style of inserting, you just click insert and upload your image :3
