Graying in the OP display of bitmap graphics

Part number:

QUESTION:
Why do bitmap graphics have a gray shadow in the OP display?

ANSWER:
The gray shadow in the display with Windows-based panels comes from color matching of the graphics to the target device. Here the default setting "Grid with error scatter" is selected.
You can change the color matching on the PLC via the properties of the graphics.

Here you select the setting "Similar Color".
Close the dialog with "OK".
