Describe the bug
- Pixel glow seems strange.
What steps will reproduce the problem?
- With the pixel glow feature...
What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
- I think that the glow of all sides should be constant. But it does not.
Do you have an error log of what happened?
- No lua error occurred.
Screenshots & Additional context
- I am a character class hunter. So I set up a weakauras as a hunter skill.
In the image above, the red marked are fade and then thickened again.
However, icons that are not marked in red will look good on all sides.
I have copied the code to Pastebin.com Please check.

Did you try having WeakAuras as the only enabled addon and everything else (especially something like ElvUI) disabled?
- Yes, I only activated the Blizzard UI and Weakauras.
Image of the screenshot will appear to have "Clean Icons - Thin" installed,
but the problem was the same even with "Clean Icons - Thin" removed.

Which version of WeakAuras are you using?
- I'm using the 2.10.2 version.
Was it working in a previous version? If yes, which was the last good one?
- This problem also existed in previous versions.
We are using a library: https://wow.curseforge.com/projects/libcustomglow to provide the different glows. We did forward that bug report to the author of that library.
The underlying problem is that the coordinate system in WoW is a bit strange, and thus your auras don't usually actually end up on exact pixels. Thus what you are seeing is the glow line falling on a exact pixel but on two pixels.
This can be fixed by setting the uiscale in a way that the wow pixel grid lines up with the real pixel grid, e.g. https://www.reddit.com/r/WowUI/comments/95o7qc/other_how_to_pixel_perfect_ui_xpost_rwow/ contains a bit more information on that issue.
Thus this in essence a duplicate of #236
