I constructed a puzzle 1024x768 with a white background, did it and took a screenshot of it before I put in the last piece and then made the puzzle again. The pieces look like two pieces stuck together.
It's a great tool for any puzzle with large areas of white--I used to go nuts trying to figure out where the empty spaces were when I had a handful of white pieces left, and everything looked filled in! And this puzzle is ALL white, plus the shapes are confusing, so it really helped here!
didn't know you could change the background color. I was thinking throughout that a different color background would be a great help in seeing the actual shape of the pieces. That was the big problem.
[Looked in help and found it. I only use the pause occasionally. I saw the colored blocks in passing, but never knew that selecting them would change the background color.]
I see that you're done, so my tip is too late. But just try breaking the pieces again and using the other color for just a minute, and I think you'll see what I mean (just in case Dave does make another one!).
I'll tell you what helped enormously--changing the background color (I picked that insipid green)! It really shows up the actual shape of the pieces, so your eye doesn't get fooled nearly as much.
Boy, that's tough! It disguises the piece shapes, with three different weight lines conflicting. Not done yet - 25 minutes in and only 8 pieces fitted beside the border - but I'll keep at it!
