O.P. WLM 9 Refuses to tile images :(
Hi everybody,
I'm currently working on a skin (I've been working on-and-off for the last few months as some testers may know :P) but in WLM 9 all of my backgrounds which should be tiled (that is, appear in a mozaic pattern) are appearing stretched instead. I have tried both omitting UM data altogether and setting to 0, neither of which results in tiling of the images in question.
In WLM 8.5 the tiling is working perfectly fine (as it should be), but WLM 9 is being very stubborn and it's really frustrating me at this point in time.
These images show how they appear in WLM 9 and how it should appear, as viewed in WLM 8.5:

Any insight would be largely appreciated.

Thanks
Volv

If you set the data to 0, then the picture will stretch. I once faced this problem with a background. I suggest you put a big setting for UM like 1000. The picture doesn't have details so nothing is going to be hidden. Please let me know if I was helpful. I hope so.

Thanks for the suggestion, but keeping the image with no resizing (as your suggesting) is not what I'm trying to achieve.
What I want it to do is tile my 16x16 pixel image so that it repeats the same image over and over (as it should be default), but whilst it works in WLM 8.5 it refuses to work in WLM 9.0.
Perhaps if I include the image which I'm trying to tile (repeat/mozaic) it may help to explain my issue: [Image: attachment.php?pid=884101]

Any other help would be appreciated, thanks.
