fading images in windows forms

[Guest]

Hello,
I have a windows form in a project that was written long ago.
I noticed that all images in this form have a width of 1 pixel, but they are
streched over all the form (from left to right). When they are streched the
right hand of the images is fading. I would like it not to fade.
Any ideas of how to do this?

thanks,

How are they stretched? Using a picture box? Or is it custom drawn?
My guess is that there is some custom drawing going on and it is actually
drawing a gradient from the color in the pixel to the form's background
color.
