          Sorry, I think this site might be more suitable.
          http://www.filedropper.com/

          I'm not sure what you mean by "you dont get a "grey" color on the black borders on the sides." Can you show using a screenshot?

          Can you also describe your settings - is the goal to include a black border on the sides of the lcd filter?

            @Floob i will look into file dropper when i wake up. So about the grey, when you have a scanline overlay you dont see the scanlines on the black borders on the side. However on an lcd overlay you do. So to fix that i made overlays set to the exact screen sizes of the lcd emulators where the overlays have transparency on the sides and the lcd filter only displaying where the actual game image is displayed. I will try to take pics tomorrow and show you.

              @Floob so this an issue with everyones lcd over lays. if you look at this image you will see pure black and the greyish black the lcd filters produce. i have different overlays for different systems that have transparent sides so the greyish black isnt seen in the borders.

              however i will include the lcd overlay that covers the entire screen. some people might prefer it that way. i actually am including a 720p and a 480p one as well in this zip for guys with older lcd tvs and lcd monitors.

                @Floob here is the zip. i included 3 lcd full overlays for 1080p, 720p and 480p. i also included a 4x and 5x vertical scanlines for people to use on rom specific configs to use on vertical games but on a normal horizontal tv. i did not make configs for those because i dont know the correct way to for your video manager.

                      You need to include a ratio index

                      aspect_ratio_index = "22"
